Transfer using only the profile file?

Thunderbird Instalim dhe përditësim

I have only my profile file (eg 1b3ylg2i-default) from backup. I copied it into the Thunderbird\profiles folder on the new computer. I have tried changing the information in the parent higher up files (installs.ini and profiles.ini) to match, but no luck. Thunderbird complains that it cant find my profile. The source computer is dead, I have only this file as backup.

Is there a way?

Try this: - start thunderbird. if pane to create email account appears, close it - click alt key to show menu bar if not visible - click help>troubleshootinginformation - scroll down left side to 'profiles' and click 'about:profiles' -click 'create profile' - click next - enter short nickname for folder, such as MYPROFILE - click choose' button - locate and select your profile and click finish - on next pane, locate your profile and click the 'launch' button

This process lets Thunderbird update the ini files for you.
