I *think* I've followed the instructions, but I am unsuccessful in moving Thunderbird Profile to new PC. I copied old profile to external drive. I opened Thunderbird on new PC and found Profile folder. I went up 3 levels and pasted old profile from external drive into folder on new PC. But my old data have not moved. When I go into new Thunderbird and choose "open profile folder", it shows me 3 files: the two that the system created in the new download, plus the old Profile that I pasted there. The new version of Thunderbird uses the "new download" profile as the default. What am I doing wrong? Thanx!

I'm not sure I understand the problem. Is it that you don't know how to tell Thunderbird to use the right profile? The instructions for doing so can be found in the following article, although it may not be very clear:

https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-thunderbird-profiles

Basically, you choose e.g. Help > Troubleshooting Information from the menu bar, then click about:profiles in that page to open the About Profiles page. You may manage your profiles there. To make the one you want the default, click the Set as default profile button under it.
