HELP‼

Are there any •SERIOUS• “Thunderbird” savvy computer geeks in 155.0that could help me merge “old” user profile directories from *crashed* computer to a new computer without messing up either one?🙏

i used to do this stuff (with my eyes closed) but I no longer remember if I had breakfast today and they are my wife’s files! 🤬

I have new notebook computer plus the •entire• old computer data on a USB stick.

- What is your operating system?

- Are these POP3 accounts or IMAP?

Please clarify your goal: does the new computer already have Thunderbird installed and are there already accounts set up in it? Are you trying to add accounts from the old computer along side of them? Or are you trying to replicate the profile on the old computer on the new one?
