I've used Thunderbird for years, and I LOVE it!
A few days ago, my hard drive died. I had it replaced, and I've used my data backup to recover much. I did NOT have programs/apps backed up.
I need VERY SPECIFIC steps to download and reinstall Thunderbird so that it uses my old profile.
Should I first delete EVERYTHING having to do with Thunderbird and start anew? I did download it today and then went to the C:Users/Owner/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird folder. In that folder, I deleted the "new" profile file (I think!). Then I moved my backed up folder called Profiles into that directory. I tried to get Thunderbird to use that profile, but no luck.
I'm reasonably intelligent (I've been told!), but I can't figure how to do this, and I truly need a step-by-step blueprint.
Do I download Thunderbird first? If so, what do I then do to make it find the old profile. I'm running Windows 11 Home on a PC.
Right now, I'm going for a long walk to clear my brain. In the interim, if one of you really smart, nice experts could give me instructions on how to do this, I'd be eternally grateful. I have numerous folders, and some really important old emails in that old profile. I also would like to be able to retrieve my address book and calendars ... which I ASSUME are part of the old profile.
Thanks in advance for ANY assistance! Don't assume I know ANYTHING!!
