Since a few months there are update notifications to update my Windows TB 78.14 to the latest version (currently 97.1).
Unfortunately, my 78.14 settings/profile does not get migrated, rather 97.1 shows a form where I can add my e-mail, password and the like. After doing so, the respective mail server (a University mail server) can be used. However my other mail servers (three gmail.com) and three newsgroups groups are not available, nor are any mails from them. There is a total of 6,1 GB of data in the profile, having piled up over the years, if that may be relevant.
Also, using a copy of the TB 78.14 profile does not change the behavior of TB 97.1 (following the advice in <https://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/1352360> will bring up the "Account Setup" screen as if no setup was available).
Going back to TB 78.14 is only possible after restoring the old profile from our backup infrastructure, which takes a *lot* of time given the overall size and is therefore extremely cumbersome, almost inacceptable.
Over all the years I have been using TB I have never experienced such a problem while upgrading to new versions. Asking my colleagues around here (on Windows, Linux, Apple), no one else has experienced this problem, OTOH no one else has such a rather complex and huge installation.
If you have any advice what I can try to do in order to get the migration to TB 97.1 done successfully, I would appreciate it very much. Among other things it would be very important to be able to reuse my rather huge set of filters on TB 97.1. If there is anything I can do or supply to identify the problem, please let me know.
As mail is at the center of most of my work I really would need to get a successful migration from 78.14 to 97.1, so any help highly appreciated!
