Is there any compile flag or something I could alter? I think that would be easy to do. I just want to clean my home folder, backup firefox and thunderbird data. I only want to backup a .mozilla directory and not .mozilla and .thunderbird them two.
So,anyone knows?
Besides, I don't want to symlink .mozilla/thunderbird to .thunderbird, that won't solve the problem, I am willing to recomplie the whole thunderbird if necessary.

cd ~/ mv ~/.thunderbird ~/.mozilla ln -s ~/.mozilla/thunderbird .

Use
thunderbird --profilemanager
Make a new profile to your desired location and move your old profile to the new one ;)

Yes, thunderbird -P, you can even make a desktop file for it, something like (it's my Aurora): [Desktop Entry] Name=Aurora GenericName=Web Browser Exec=/home/ganlu/Downloads/firefox/firefox %u Icon=/home/ganlu/Downloads/firefox/icons/mozicon128.png Terminal=false Type=Application MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml+xml;application/vnd.mozilla.xul+xml;text/mml;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https; StartupNotify=true Categories=Network;WebBrowser;

Sorry, it should be "Exec=/home/ganlu/Downloads/firefox/firefox %u -P test"

its just too easy, you can configure it in profile settings. in server settings you can choose the local folder. thats what you need?

Thanks to all of you, I have solved this problem.
As I mentioned before, I am not mean to change the profile location, eg ~/.thunderbird/*.defulat to elsewhere, I want to change ~/.thunderbird itsself to ~/.mozilla/thunderbird which profile manager can not help.
Finally, thanks to lee@mozillazine, I found how to change that by altering the source code.
