Cannot locate profile in SNAP install #519

In Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS (Ubuntu), birdtray cannot locate the profile of a SNAP install of thunderbird (SNAP is now the default thunderbird installation). I successfully pointed birdtray to the SNAP profile location (/home/username/.var/app/org.mozilla.Thunderbird/.thunderbird/) and it sees my IMAP folders:

However, after clicking OK, birdtray keeps complaining that it cannot find the profile:

Is birdtray still trying to look for the profile in the (old) default profile folder /home/username/.thunderbird/profilename ?

The Profile Missing dialog is not generated by Birdtray, it is generated by Thunderbird itself. Looks like Thunderbird is having problems accessing your profile, you can find some suggested solutions here.

To clarify, this is not a problem with Birdtray, but with your Thunderbird configuration.
