Trying to export my Thunderbird ver 128.9 to my mobile; I foolow the instructions and get to the page that says "Scan the QR code". But there is no QR code to scan! If I select the "Export" button, I get a request for a PIN code. I know nothing about a PIN code so I follow the "Forgot my PIN code" which tells me I should go to "Settings/Accounts/Sign in Options" There is no "Accounts" selection under the Settings menu.

If only the "Help" page could have said that, instead of all this guff about"Settings/Accounts.." etc!

Which help page/URL ?

I think it's this one: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-android-import#w_export-thunderbird-desktop-settings

I made a suggested addition that needs review.
