Temporary global-messages-db.sqlite-journal files creating their own directory structure?

Hi,

I have recently moved 3 thunderbird profiles successfully and everything is working fine apart from the temporary sqlite files. I am unsure how to check where Thunderbird has anything set for temporary file location but currently, it is actually creating a full directory structure elsewhere on the same (shared) drive. This drive is managed remotely and the last thing I need is erroneous directory and file creation.

The directory that it creates is the full path including the profile name and then the folder is full of global-messages-db.sqlite-journal files - 1 through 40 or 50. I can delete the files no problem but they are then re-created?

Many thanks in advance..

Thunderbird uses the system %temp% variable... want to know where it points.... type it into the start menu and press enter.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for this. It turns out this isn't really a thunderbird issue but a system issue of sorts. We recently had a QNPS shared drive system implemented and it would seem that one of the filesystems on that shared drive (@recycle) has been set up as another recycle bin so anything that I delete from the shared drive ends up in there - hence, temporary files from Thunderbird and Quickbooks are all in there. My %temp% is set correctly but something on this shared drive is overriding it. Think I might go back to the person that set it up maybe :) Thanks for your help though. Kirsti
