Import difficulties
Because my previous Thunderbird profile appears to be corrupted, I am trying to reconstruct it without too much duplication of effort. I have started with a virgin profile and added 3 mail accounts by way of the account wizard.
- One of the accounts is an iCloud (Apple) account. Thunderbird offered to add my iCloud "Reminders" to Thunderbird's calendar, but the resulting entry shows a yellow triangle with an exclamation point, which seems to mean that it cannot be synced. The corresponding iCloud mail account appears to sync without problems. What must I do to enable the "Reminders"?
- I also need to import the mail from the "Local Folders" in my old profile. Under "Tools - Import", it looks as though selecting "Mail Messages" will import all mail, which will likely result in hosing my profile again. How can I import *only* the mail folders form my old "Local Folders"?

This response is only for your local folders question: - install the addon, importexporttools - highlight "Local Folders' - rightclick and select the importexport option to import mbox - locate and select one of the message files (NOT the msf file) and click OK - repeat above steps for each desired message folder retrieval.
I don't think Reminders can be synced in TB, but icloud calendars and contacts can be added to TB.
@david, I found "ImportExportTools NG" instead of "importexporttools", but it worked pretty much as you described. Some data seems to be missing, but that was to be expected. Thanks for your help!
@sfhowes, Thanks for the tip. Odd that Thunderbird would offer something that doesn't work.
