Thunderbird seems to be making assumptions about where to put your
data and I haven't found a way to tell it where to put it;
If all you want to do is make thunderbird put (most of) its data elsewhere, you could change the profiles.ini file that exists in ~/.thunderbird. Mine has this:

[Install9238613B8C3D2579]
Default=/data/thunderbird

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=0
Path=/data/thunderbird
Default=1

[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
Version=2

Except for the few files/directories that need to be in ~/.thunderbird, all thunderbird data ends up in /data/thunderbird. Of course, you should make sure the actual profile data is in the right location before you run thunderbird like this.

Frank
