Will moving my Profiles folder include everything to make Thunderbird on my new PC exactly like on the old PC?
The KnowledgeBase has instructions to move my Profiles folder, which will bring over accounts and some other stuff to my new PC afer I install Thunderbird on the computer.
Will all of my subfolders transfer? I have more than a dozen folders, some with archived emails, others with email templates I use repeatedly, Sent, Trash, etc.. Will all of that come across with my profiles folder? Or is that kept somewhere else?
How about my Address Book? How about my filters?
Thanks in advance for any help. Bill

Yes, copying the profile folder will transfer everything. But you can save yourself some possible confusion if you copy the Thunderbird folder, which includes the profile folder, instead:
