adding accounts to Thunderbird
Hi, I have TB on one laptop with 12 email accounts. If I add TB to another laptop, can I import the accounts from the original to save time with all the password and verification steps??

It depends. Some accounts, such as those that use OAUTH2 authentication, may prompt because the app password is unique to each PC. Otherwise, yes, everything is copied: accounts and settings and messages. The following steps have proved successful, assuming you use Windows.
BACKUP
- ensure thunderbird is not running
- 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
RESTORE
- ensure thunderbird is installed, run once, and NOT running
- enter %appdata% in search window on task bar and press Enter key
- delete the thunderbird folder
- you should be in Appdata\roaming folder , copy&paste the exported Thunderbird folder there.
- start thunderbird and all should be there
Hi, thanks Peter, I shall give it a try. Unfortunately the OAUTH2 condition may be a problem, but it would be a start. Many thanks 👍
