the change of default folder is not accepted
I have 5 mail account and added a new one All the mail account default folders have been changed in a different drive of C where the OS is. It's seems impossible to create a new default folder for the new mail account it in the same folder where the others are, the sistem give me this message:
" a subfolder of the specified folder in the local folder settings is already used by the thunderbird account... chose another folder"
So, it is possible to create it in any other folder out of the folder where all the others are. But i need to choose the same folder of the others and really don't understand why it seems impossible to do it. I tried to eliminate two accounts but nothing changed.

Each folder MUST have it's own folder structure. NO SHARING.
If you want the stuff off the C drive move the whole profile. I really do not know why those account folder options really exist. They make moving to new hardware extremely difficult if you modify them.

I moved the whole profile since long time ago, the whole profile was already off of C, it has always been off C. In the past, starting from this situation, I already added a new account without problems. Just today, for the first time, seems impossible to choose the default folder in the "whole profile" where it actually is. Any other position is accepted by the system, but not the position into the whole profile where it is. I tried to cancel two accounts into the whole position: the system always replay that message...
