Ive just spent several hours configuring thunderbird how i like it, and now i have to roll out these changes to another few computers. I could do this manually but its a bit of a pain.

Is there a way i could copy the setup ive just made either by importing / exporting the config or by copying over the config file ?

Im on Thunderbird 91.11.0 (64-bit), on a Mac running Big Sur 11.6.7

Click help>moretroubleshootinginformation, scroll down to Profiles and click about:profiles. This is just to let you confirm the exact location of the profile. Now, exit TB and copy the profile to the other computer. All settings, addressbooks, and accounts will be included. If you were using TB 102, there is an easy feature to import complete profiles in one click. With 91.11, I suggest starting Profile Manager and activating the new profile.
