Our office has 3 people that share one windows account. We each have individual IMAP accounts. Is it possible to be promted to choose which profile to access upon Thunderbird startup so that only one email account is displayed at a time?

Chosen solution

The easy way is to change link in start or desktop to read

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -P

( -P) starts the profile handler. Where you can pick one.

But you will have to create a profile for each one

Adding the -P to the end of the current "Target" string worked. Thank you very much!
