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?

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
