msgfilter.dat file works mostly but seems corrupt - can it be reset or something else
Hi, Hopefully this is Bugzilla. I've an issue and not sure if it's a bug or what. Been using these filters for years. Tried most "tricks". (rebooted, etc)
Not sure how to handle this.
Can anyone help? What do you need from me? Thanks

David. I went from Laptop A to B. Copied all the profile files (C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles).
I tried to Sort my Inbox and some or all Rules were missing. Did I copy the wrong files?
Thanks
If you did a proper copy, everything will be there. Here are recommended steps: Here is the link for moving a profile in Windows when installed in default location:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer
here is the info in brief steps:
- ensure thunderbird is NOT running on old machine <== IMPORTANT
- enter %appdata% in search window on task bar and press Enter key
- this should open windows file explorer in Appdata\roaming folder
- highlight the Thunderbird folder and copy to external media
- ensure thunderbird is installed on second computer and NOT running
- enter %appdata% in search window on task bar and press Enter key
- you should be in Appdata\roaming folder , copy&paste the exported Thunderbird folder there. This may prompt to overwrite an existing folder of same name. allow it
- start thunderbird and all should be there
Dabid, Thanks for clearing that up. Seems I only copied a part of the folder. I originally copied C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles folder. I should have copied C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird folder. BIG difference. Thanks!
