Sorry, I don’t have a Mac. From what he says, I imagine he was on the right track, maybe the directory just needed to be a little different. Maybe a Mac user out there could comment…

Love the cross platform, i use Fedora Linux or WinXP depending on what course i’m working on in the University Labs. my next endeavour is to try and make that same profile available from home…. to try and see if profiles.ini will accept a http:// address (the university provies a unix,windows and web directory)… wish me luck!

Amazing; I did a search in Google for “thunderbird cross-platform” as I was interested in doing the exact same thing.

I’m glad someone’s already done this & published their findings. Thanks!

Any ideas how one might be able to get this working between OS X and Windows?

I tried your instructions and altered the profiles.ini which in OS X is located in ‘Users/user/Library/Thunderbird’. In OSX I would get to my Fat32 Partition using ‘/Volumes/Drivename/Directory’. But when I set this in the ini file Thunderbird does not load any profile.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.
