Version 153 brought account colors to the desktop app.

Is there any smoother way to transfer just these settings, no more, no less, to other machines, other than copying the whole profile? I'm using TB on 3 different pc's, of which one has a special profile.

Right now I made screenshots of all 7 accounts + color. I can do it by hand but that's rather cumbersome.

I have installed version 153 of Firefox for Android (see attached screenshot).

The release notes say that it supports importing bookmarks from csv files. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/importing-bookmarks-firefox-android says to tap bookmarks and then tap the menu icon at the top.

When I go bookmarks THERE IS NO MENU ICON (see attached screenshot).

What is going on?

I have been using Thunderbird for 20+ years, maybe as many as 30. Forever. I have moved my profile across several versions of Windows and multiple computers. There are files in the root of the profile with a modified date of 2009. There may be older ones in sub-directories. There are 18 folders and 125 files. I suspect a lot of this is clutter left over from earlier versions of Thunderbird. In the Mail folder alone there are several hundred files and folders excluding the WDSEML files and actual emails.

I'm toying with the idea of starting fresh with a clean install of Thunderbird and getting on the correct release channel but I don't want to bring along what appear to be hundreds or thousands of unused files and folders.

I there anyone that can identify what profile files and folders to keep and what can be deleted?

Thanks for your consideration.

Transfer from Thunderbire on PC Win 11 to Android version Xiaomi17 smartphone

All the requested QRs are generated but when I frame them with the smartphone camera they are not read and therefore the procedure is not completed. If instead of the camera I use a normal scanner, in this case it reads all the details of the QR. Can you tell me the cause and remedies, Thank you very much. Paolo

With a new Thunderbird installation on Windows 10 Pro, I attempted to import my profile data from a Postbox on another machine. The process failed, citing two errors (see attached screen shot), EmptyDatabase Error: "blocklists/addons-bloomfilters" has not been synced yet Uncaught NS_ERROR_FILE_NO_DEVICE_SPACE: Component returned failure code: 0X805200010

The profile being imported is pretty large -- around 20Gb, so I wonder whether I have surpassed some capacity limit. I was doing this via the Import Tool on the Tools menu.

Porting my legacy mail folders is crucial. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
