TB Migration Win11 to Kubuntu

Thunderbird Import and export settings

Hi. I'm trying to migrate TB v. 141.0 Win11 to TB v. 128.13.0esr Kubuntu. I've tried copying the profile folder & .ini files over, but I get an error on Kubuntu about the version difference. I've not been able to work around that error, and the page it points me to seems not helpful (that may just be me). I'm willing to re-create each account in Kubuntu manually, but all my accounts have numerous sub-folders along with matching rule filters. I've ported the filters over OK, but I need to know how (if possible) to recreate the sub-folders en masse in Kubuntu.

Any help (including "You Can't") is appreciated.

Thanks Nick

Going backwards is always a problem. See if there is a compatibilities.ini file in the profile; delete it if there and try again. A 'better' solution would be to update 128 to 141.
