Trying to move a Thunderbird profile from one computer to another.

I tried EXPORT then IMPORT. It partially works.

102.7.2 32-bit - Windows 10 on OLD machine [Exported from here]

102.7.2 64-bit - Windows 10 on NEW machine. [Imported to here]


I have 4 accounts and local folders. It displays all 4 accounts, but only the emails for accounts 2-4 show. My main account I use, there is nothing. No INBOX, or anything else.

what is going on?

I just compacted the problematic account on the OLD machine and re-did the export/import, same problem.

Thanks!

Figured out the problem. 1 of 4 accounts (My main one I use) - I had changed the LOCAL Directory to something different then the profile default.

When I set that correctly -- the INBOX appeared, I did GET messages...and entered password/cert, etc...it started downloading everything (From Protonmail)...still downloading now.

Though I realize, I could copy it from the OLDer machine as well.
