Somehow I have 2 Thunderbird profiles. I need to merge them because my Anti Spam software keep pointing to the one that does not have any of the messages and nothing is being filtered. I do not mind merging them manually. I just need to know how to do it so I do not lose any of my mail folders, address books or messages. Settings can always be fixed later using a camera and screen shots of data.

Hmm, I am not sure you want to use McAfee anti spam. It causes crashes in Thunderbird among other things. See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Testing:Antivirus_Related_Performance_Issues#McAfee

I don't understand how you know you have two profiles, which apparently you don't know how you created.

Can you elaborate?

When I go to Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Folder > Show Folder, Windows Explorer opens up to show a TB profile with all folders and settings. When I go up 1 level it shows 2 profiles created on the same day hours apart. On that day I had formatted the HDD an did a clean Windows install due to issues we were having with our computer. Both profile names are a string of letters and numbers followed by ".default". One profile shows no activity since April and the other shows modifications according to the last time I downloaded mail. When I installed TB that day all I did was import everything that was backed up. We have 4 logins on this computer and I am the only one who has 2 TB profiles. I used the same method of importing on all 4 people.
