How to transfer CalDAV/CardDAV Connections from one Machine to another Machine?
On my main machine (Linux) I am running Thunderbird with Lightning and have several CalDAV calendars connected. Furthermore there is also a CardDAV address book hooked up.
How can I transfer those CalDAV and CardDAV connections to a further machine?
I want to avoid setting it up manually by hand. Which files do I have to copy from ~/.thunderbird?
I guess something like:
- File storage.db - File prefs.js (only the lines with "calendar") - Directory calendar-data
But where is the connection for CardDAV stored?

Copy over the entire Thunderbird profile, and then remove the things you don't need on the new machine.
But how can I know which files and folders I don't need?
Maybe I could delete all existing mail profiles and remove them from the `prefs.js`. But where are they stored?
You can delete unneeded stuff via the Thunderbird GUI. Don't start messing with files in the profile.
