Description
Why does TMPDIR have to be in ~/Downloads? It does not make sense to have temporary files in the user's Downloads folder.
Could we please have a chance to override export TMPDIR=$(xdg-user-dir DOWNLOAD)/thunderbird.tmp? Or we can have this temporary folder automatically removed after Thunderbird is closed?
Thank you.
