I changed Thunderbird Profiles.ini in Win7 to use the Profiles/Default in WinXP, which is on another physical HD and it works well. It gives me access to all past emails and address book whichever OS I am in. I have done the same in Puppy and the path is /mnt/sdd1/Documents and Settings/User/Application Data/Thunderbird/Profiles/XXXXXXXXX.default. This works too provided SDD1 is mounted (that is where WinXP is). Is there a way to mount SDD1 and minimize it automatically at startup?
Many thanks,
Alex

If you copy the profile to your home directory in Puppy, it should be saved on exit and available next boot - you have created a personal save file I assume, to keep your settings/newly installed programs etc?

Thank you Mikkh. I tried that first and it worked. It made all emails received and sent in WinXP and Win7 seen in Puppy, but any emails after the point of copying did not appear. What I need is to be able to receive and reply to emails in one OS and then see both when I am in another OS. What I have done works in Puppy too, but it slows it down leaving SDD1 mounted. Apart from keeping all my emails in one place, I was hoping to speed up logging off Puppy, by moving Thunderbird default out of Slackosave to Home, but it still takes 90secs to logoff. Setting Thunderbird to use the Default in WinXP keeps emails in one place, but it still did not speed up the logging off. I suppose it does not matter all that much, because | can turn off the monitor and go away leaving Puppy to save and log off.

I have succeeded in accessing my Thunderbird emails in WinXP profiles from Puppy provided the drive in which WinXP is is mounted. Not a problem and great convenience.
