I installed Thunderbird (78.6.1/32-bit) on a new computer running Windows10 Pro. Following files 'installs & profiles' were created in 'C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird' They contain following info ...


1) installs: [8216C80C92C4E828] Default=Profiles/a0xgpvl8.default-release Locked=1

2) profiles: [Install8216C80C92C4E828] Default=Profiles/a0xgpvl8.default-release Locked=1

[Profile1] Name=default IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/zio2d614.default Default=1

[Profile0] Name=default-release IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/a0xgpvl8.default-release

[General] StartWithLastProfile=1 Version=2


In the Profile folder I have the two folders 'a0xgpvl8.default-release' and 'zio2d614.default'. On my old computer I made a backup of my profile 'lccgh133.default' where all my mailfolders are. How do I get the old mailfolders to my new computer?

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

On the old computer, copy the contents of lccgh133.default (i.e. all files and folders in it), and paste it into a0xgpvl8.default-release on the new computer.

Then make the a0xgpvl8.default-release the default profile, either when prompted or via profile manager. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-multiple-profiles#w_7dont-ask-at-startupsf8use-the-selected-profile-without-asking-at-startupsf
