Hi

I have two thunderbird profiles, one has 7 email accounts in it, the other has none.

I want to copy one of the email accounts to the other profile.

I have installed importexport but I don't think it can do what i want. how can I do it manually?

Since your question title says it's an imap account you can just delete it from one and create it in the other and it will repopulate from the cloud server. That's what imap is.

To feel more secure about it you might want to simply turn off refreshing of this one account in the old profile, set it up in the new profile and let it populate, then delete it from the other.
