I have moved the hidden thunderbird folder from windows to windows, and it worked great, It do not work well in Linux, Kubuntu 20.04

I could rebuild my profile, but then will the icloud add in work under linux?

What is it that didn't 'work well'? One thing that is sometimes overlooked causes the saved passwords to not be recognized in the target setup. This is fixed by deleting pkcs11.txt from the profile folder, with TB closed.

Which iCloud add-on? Most add-ons work on all platforms.

Well,

It looks like a blank clean install.

1) Linux setup up in .thunderbird, I have compared files, and moved files several times, and all I get is like a new install.

2) I can rebuild my email setting, and the TBSync, and it works except the visual display, only one tab, and I need to setup the events column.

Thanks
