Is there an easy way to switch from BetterBird to Thunderbird?

Thunderbird Import and export settings

Someone suggested BetterBird would be better for me than Thunderbird, but I'm not sure it was the right decision. They said I should be able to just open Thunderbird and it should work as they have the same base code, but it doesn't. Any ideas? I have 8 email accounts, so I'd hate to start from scratch.

If they are at same release, there should be no problem. If you're getting an error that profile is not a match, look for a file named compatibility.ini in the profile and delete it. If that is not the issue, please post error message or other info so someone can assis.
