I just installed a new hard drive. I copied my Thunderbird profile from my old drive but I don't see my profiles on the new install.

I recently upgraded to Win10 and also installed a new hard drive at the same time. Following the instructions from this video https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer , I copied my profiles from the old drive to the TB file on the new drive. When I reopened TB, my profiles are not there.

Matt:

I tried it again but this time went deeper into the folder and everything is back to normal. Thanks for your help.
