I converted as advised and then updated to the newest version. I lost everything except the messages: the Address Book, Tags, Message Filters, and Folders are all gone. This is a disaster after 15+ years with Thunderbird. It started when I copied the folder "profiles" from my laptop to my PC for the 1,000th time. Is there a simple step-by-step solution? Without the history or apologies etc. etc? Just "do this?" My solution now is to do all my email on my laptop. Ugh!
