IDrive will only work with "real" folders, not any type of shortcut.I think, if you're already backing up c:\users\your_user_name\AppData, you're already getting all of your Thunderbird data captured.Have you tried searching in your IDrive data (via the "search your account" box) for a known Thunderbird file?

They seem to be stored in USER\appdata and IDrive shows that directory in red text and will not allow me to browse it or back anything up from it. Thunderbird has no option that I can see to store the emails in a different location. Can I get IDrive to back up from appdata? Thu, 09 Dec 2021 19:53:57 +0000
