Any way to save Account and Options Settings in TB?
I want to install TB on another one or two of my machines, but don't want to have to go thru all the hassle of modifying all those pages of my settings in Options and Account every time. Is there any way to save those settings so I can just paste them into TB on the other machine(s)? Is there one or more files somewhere that stores that data that can be copy/pasted to the new machine(s)' TB installation?

First, install TB on the new computer. Then delete the following directories C:\Users\<loginname>\appdata\local\thunderbird C:\Users\<loginname>\appdata\Roaming\Thunderbird Then copy those directories from the old computer to the new. After copying, you "MUST" reboot before you start TB.
Thank you Carl1959, I will give that a shot this week and report back when I get the new machines set up. But I have a question... you typed "C:\Users\<loginname>\appdata\local\thunderbird" and then typed "C:\Users\<loginname>\appdata\Roaming\Thunderbird" a second time. Typo? Or is there suppose to be more you left out?

You can ignore .../AppData/Local, which is cached data. All user data is stored in ../AppData/Roaming.
