Question says it all. I am trying to copy the account settings and data from my desktop version of tbird to a portable version that I keep on usb stick. Portable version works fine and I have tried copying profile in AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird from desktop version to portable version but it does not bring data over. I am looking at a clean install version rather than a populated version despite having taken those steps. Can anyone please give me a clear step by step. Thx.

Here's what I did: - Copied the <Thunderbird/Profiles> folder - Uninstalled Thunderbird 60 - Installed Thunderbird 68 - Copied <Profiles> folder into new copy of Thunderbird - There was no Address Book, completely blank.
How do I get my Address Book back?
I have an Aug copy of <Profiles> that might have the Address Book in it but it will not have all E-mails. What files, exactly, would I need to copy from the Aug Profile to the new copy of Thunderbird to get my Address Book back (if that is possible)?
Any and all help is appreciated. I REALLY do not want to reconstruct my Address Book, it have 700+ addresses...

I was able to import the names of my contacts but the email addresses didn't appear. After working with this with all the ideas I had, I noticed that in the import questions in Thunderbird, you are asked to tick or untick various columns, like First Name, Last Name, Primary Email, Secondary Email. I noticed when I opened the address book after importing the addresses, that there isn't a Primary Email and Secondary Email, there is only Email.
I was able to overcome this problem by removing the addresses from where they were appearing (either under Last Name or as part of First Name) and pasting them into "Email". I don't know if this could have been avoided by putting more commas or tabs into the file I was trying to import, csv or txt. I also don't know if it was caused because the list of options was looking for Primary Email rather than for Email and couldn't find it. Once in the correct column, the contact list became workable, I could use autocomplete and could create new lists.
60.9.0 Folder List Pane has a grey gradation with a very irritating sweeping effect. Can I turn this off?
