I downloaded and installed TB and it pre-configured my wife's mailbox instead of setting up a new one for me. Whats up with that?

I downloaded and installed TB and it pre-configured my wife's mailbox instead of setting up a new one for me. The first time I ran it, there was her mailbox and all the msg's. I didn't input anything for a server, login or password. IOt just came up configured for her mailbox! Did it do that from the IP address or what?

I would guess that Thunderbird has been installed previously and it has simply rediscovered an old profile folder.

Thunderbird has never been installed on this computer before. It is installed on the wife's machine that is on this network, and that is the profile that came up. It didn't even prompt me for any setting on first run!

Its a peer-to-peer network for file sharing and such. I did not have to configure anything and there was my wife's mailbox. It would be scary to think that someone could do a TB install on a public network and see the inbox of others that might be connected at the time, eh? I never had TB installed on this machine before now.

there has to be something here. when you type %appdata% at the start menu run/search what folders open. Perhaps your sharing is the issue.

%appdata% is a windows environment variable that sets the location of the application data folders, perhaps your is pointed to somewhere other than the default, because Thunderbird will use that location. to create the profile and if it finds one there it will use it.
