Windows 11, Intel CPU. Have used Thunderbird since KMail became untenable on Ubuntu machines. Kinda tired of the "There is no email to support your requested action" message every time I load Thunderbird and was hoping the Beta might fix that.

A complete novice, so please keep things simple. I recently changed email host/provider and was advised to back up my existing Thunderbird profile which I did. I have now an Sbd file. I want to reinstall the profile and I have used the import prompts on Thunderbird, but I dont seem to be able to import anything.

At the moment I do not have access to previous emails, addresses etc. Please advise, thanks in advance. Stuart
