I had to move my domain to a new server, still has same email address & server details (moved package from 1and1.com to 1and1.ca). I copied the Thunderbird profile prior and was hoping it would synchronise the old inbox, sent items etc back to the IMAP server. Thunderbird just keeps replacing the old inbox with the blank one from the server despite the file sizes in the profile showing the old files should be there.

Is there any way to put all my old emails from the Thunderbird backup profile back onto server?

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, when there is a conflict between the server and the client, in email the server wins.

I think you'll need to import those old messages. I'd use the ImportExportTools add-on. You may be able to just copy the relevant folders in from the old profile to the new in your fie manager, but you'll have to be careful to honour the profile structure and maybe decipher some folder names.

You'll need to import them to Local Folders then copy or move them to the new IMAP-connected account.
