As per title, please.
I have installed thunderbird as my email client.
I keep my local email files on NAS
All works fine apart from address book.
Normally it is a case of replacing local abook.mab file with a link to the one kept on NAS...
but struggling to do it on my elementary OS 5.1.7 Hera machine.
For a starters, I would expect to see my tunderbird profile in .thunderbird in my /home/user folder, but can't see it there...?
any help gratefully received, please
later edit:
just realised it is installed as flatpak (something new to me)
so it is actually located at:
/home/user/.local/share/flatpak/app/org.mozilla.Thunderbird
so... where is the profile?
later edit #2
found the profiles here:
/home/user/.var/app/org.mozilla.Thunderbird
so now just need to create a link...
later edit #3
it should be easy, but for some reason it doesn't work with Thunderbird :-(
later edit #4
I have removed symlink I have created and replaced it with a copy of abook.mab and now the address book appears fine in Thunderbird,
so it confirms to me that the problem is with symlink I have created...
I have used the usual command:
ln -s
I have no clue what is the problem...?
