How to transfer emails from one profile from email account to another profile email account
I am using Thunderbird Version 60.9.1 (do not wish to update to recent version due to some add-on not available on newer versions)
I have 3 profiles and each profile have several email address accounts and each email accounts have sub-folders.
I need to transfer some emails or some sub-folders from one profile email account to another profile email account. Although both email address have different servers but I would like to view and keep them in my other profile so I have same correspondent, same subject and same date view.
Is this possible?
Million thanks for any help.

Is this multiple access needed for just one PC, or do you need it from multiple PCs and/or phone? Are these POP or IMAP?
Not sure what you mean by Multiple Access? It is just one PC and all my emails are IMAP. I just want to transfer some emails from one email account in Profile A to another email account in Profile B. Once done, if of course it is possible to do, I will remove the email account in Profile B. Thank you, David, for your help.
PS: Sorry for replying to you only today. The site had recurring errors yesterday so I could not reply.

Okay, IMAP can be delicate and can lose messages is a lot are moved at one time. So, here is my suggestion: - use File>work offline>download to ensure all messages are local - copy the desired messages to transfer to a new local folder - use the import/export utility to export to a folder outside of thunderbird - switch to the other profile - use the import/export utility to import to a local folder - create a filter to copy the messages from local folder to the IMAP account.
