Hi everyone, I've just installed Ubuntu on my second SSD. I'm using thunderbird on Windows 11 and I was wondering if there is a possibility to share all my data and profiles across Ubuntu and Windows to have them updated. My idea is to use a MicroSD to keep all the data from thunderbird. I need help because I am completely new doing this things. Many thanks to all of you that could help me. Ask me more information if you need it, I will provide them.

You "might" try using a portable version from portable apps. Truthfully the path descriptors being / in one OS and \ in the other make this a rather bumpy ride.

Thanks Matt, Sorry for my late answer. I solved the problem, I've tried first your advice but I end it up to put the profile folder in the microSD and then I've changed the path in the file profile.ini both in W11 and Ubuntu and it seems to work fine. Thanks again
