I installed TB 115.11.0. I started and TB want an E-Mail-Acc.

But i don't want to configure an new acc, i want migrate my old profiles.

I copied the profile-folder as described online, but they didn't appear.

Meanwhile i used an diffrent Mail-Acc and TB starte to sync and delete all older Mails, was wasn't wanted.

So i have an empty Mail-Acc and couldn't migrate my old Mails.

If you have a copy of a profile, you can set it up by clicking tools>Import>import from another thunderbird installation and then click to select a profile.
