I tried to transfer my Thunderbird e-mail account to a new Laptop. I followed the instructions for using an external harddrive. I copied my profile , connected the external harddrive to the new device and filled my profile in. But actually I don't find Thunderbird e-mail in the taskbar and I can't access to it. What do I have to do?
