How to Move Address Books and Filters to Another PC, Revisited
In How to Move Address Books and Filters to Another PC , I asked "How do I move all my message filters and address books from my Windows desktop PC to my Windows laptop?"
The solution was complicated. Here's a better, faster one:
Just copy the whole Thunderbird folder to the laptop.
Zip it with 7-zip using minimal compression, copy it to a portable hard drive or thumb drive, rename the existing Thunderbird folder on the laptop to Thunderbird.bak, and unzip the new Thunderbird folder to the laptop.
I had previously copied the Thunderbird folder directly to the portable drive, but that takes hours because of all the little files. 7-zip is faster.

You probably received a more complex response because you wanted only addresses and filters. Had you asked to move the entire profile, the response would have been much simpler, similar to your response. I'm pleased all is working properly.
