Hello,

When I started using thunderbird, the loading time of thunderbird was fast. Currently I have 12 email accounts and now when I start thunderbird it takes almost a minute before thunderbird is fully loaded.

My question:

Is it possible to create 12 seperate ""profiles", each profile represents an email account. Then through command line start thunderbird and the desired email account. Example: thunderbird.exe /profile_1

Profile_1 contains one email account.

This way I always start with one email account (one inbox) and thunderbird boots normally.

Thank you and kind regards,

Ron

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -profile e:\my_profile will launch Thunderbird with the profile stored at e:\my_profile
