Several Thunderbird in different OS on the same computer to access profile on common logical drive

I installed Windows 8.1 under another OS on a machine who already have Windows 7 (and Thunderbird). The hard disk is partitioned and you Bird profile files are on a different logical drive available to both operating systems having the same name of player.

I met two problems:

1. While the new facility to Win 8.1 you Bird sees all mail folders and messages (and can get new messages from the POP3 account, this configuration does not see also within this same profile address books, and)

2. it does not correctly send SMTP (even with the same account settings.

Regarding the last, I remember working with you Bird and its predecessor as the SMTP password has been set from the first use, but never appeared for editing purposes; the only time wherever he appeared was during the creation of a new source of SMTP. In this case, I don't see where I can re - enter the SMTP password. And, I tried to create a new configuration of SMTP, but it did not help. I have entered the correct password, but it failed. Any ideas on how I can get this set up?

With address books, even if this new facility you Bird knows where the profile (as evidenced by the fact that he doesn't see mail folders and messages), he does not see the address books. Still, I don't see where there is the setting of the location of the address book. I looked for the familiar file that tells the program where to find everything, but I could not find in this new facility to Win 8.1.

Any ideas on these two issues would be greatly appreciated!

I finally found the answer. I was able to display the users folder in Win 8.1. I just copied files of Thunderbird of the Win 7 Users\UserName\AppData\Local Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming files directory and directory to the same location on the 8.1 users folder.

As soon as I did that and restarted my SMTP has been fixed and all address books were available. (And of course, it still works in the world of Win 7, too).

From what I can glean the data in these records communicate key information at the Thunderbird not covered by the option setting for the folder in the program itself.

I don't know if the copy of these records is this 3rd party promise to help with the relocation of existing facilities, but should be.

As a reminder, I try 8.1 win on the same computer as a pre-existing Win7. I wanted to use my same familiar programs, including obviously Thunderbird, with the same configuration and access to the books of mail and same address located on a common additional logical drive.

Copy these files to the new operating system, as well as pointing to the new installation of program to the existing profile of you bird accomplished all of this.
