In transferring Thunderbird to a new pc I have somehow ended up with 2 identical account names. One uses pop, the other imap. Looking at the profile folders, one is labelled 'default' and the other 'default-release'. (1) What is a 'default-release' profile please? (2) how do I find out which profile relates to which account name (the accounts have contain different folders) and then safely get rid of one of the accounts so that everything goes through the imap server setting? Thank you.

In earlier TB versions up to TB 60 there was only one profile (folder) named .default in the Profiles folder. Beginning with TB 68 the active profile was renamed in default-release and .default was degraded to a stub profile containing only a times.json file. More recently the .default-release profile became .default-esr and the stub profile .default was maintained. To add still more confusion, since 2024 TB issues a new monthly .default-release labelled version which is similar to the beta version.

To find out which of your profile folders in "Profiles" - .default or .default-release - contains your message, address book and calendar data you must open both and compare their contents.
