I have used Mozilla Thunderbird on my Win 10 PC, but now want to transfer account to new Win 11 laptop to replace PC. Cannot remember my original password. for Moz TB, I also want to download and transfer all my email content from Virgin Media, account which will soon be terminated.

When I go through the process to import bookmarks, passwords and such it does great, except none of the passwords import from Edge. No warnings, alarms or other notices. It acts like everything is fine.

Hi,

I just had to reinstall Windows 11 on my desktop computer because Windows Update would not update anything. It would start to install the update and upon the first reboot, it would fail with 0xc000021a and would back out the update. I tried updating Windows while keeping my data and it would fail at the first reboot with the same code.

I made note of where Thunderbird stored the profile (C:\Users\rayli\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\pghy27s4.default, and C:\Users\rayli\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles\pghy27s4.default).

Prior to starting the wipe and reload installation I made a System Backup (using EaseUS ToDo Backup Home) of my boot drive (all 4 partitions). After the new copy of Windows was running I used the backup program to restore the above 2 files to the original location.

I then downloaded and installed the latest Thunderbird from the website and before I launched it the first time, I launched the Profile Manager from Terminal (Admin) and my old (restored profile) was not listed. I shut down the Profile Manger, launched Thunderbird, and proceeded to add my Comcast email account and my Gmail account.

What I need help with is recovering the 2 address books from the old profile and a folder where I save emails to.

The current profile is stored in "C:\Users\rayli\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\9nfxwsrx.default-release". The profile containing the info I need is in the same folder and is named "pghy27s4.default". I added a screenshot of the folder.

Note that I also have an SSD that I cloned my old system to, which I can install in my computer and boot from. My system has a second SSD (it is D:) that contains a lot of my data, so I can copy whatever I need to it.

With a previous Windows 11 reinstall-in-place attempt, I had used the Export function of Thunderbird to backup the profile. After updating Windows 11 I installed the latest Thuderbird and tried the Import function but it failed before completing the Import, so I did not Export this time.

Hi all!

Years back, I created my first account using POP3 when IMAP storage was expensive. Over the years I added many message filters to organize my tasks. Now I'd like to switch to IMAP and found everything I need, except for how to move/convert/copy my message filters. So my question is how can I transfer my message filters when recreating the account using IMAP? (I have a lot of filters, recreating them is no good option...)

I also noticed, that I have some filters for "Local Folders" and some for my POP3 account. Whats you're recommendation for that? Merge them into a single list assigned to the account? How can I do that?

I just purchased a new PC. HP OmniDesk Slim model with Intel Core 13, Win 11 home version, 8 GB DDR5, 512 GB SSD. I just read a previous article, "Move Thunderbird data to a new computer." When you make the move, does it also bring your account settings with the move? And by the move, I mean copying and pasting from old PC to new PC. Or do I enter this info manually? I am moving data from old HP w/win 10 originally installed, to new HP w/win 11. I also read a previous article on forum, "An alternative method for manual transfer between Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers." This was also included in this article. "This section assumes you have a default Windows installation and will work on computers upgraded to Windows 10 from previous Windows versions." My old computer had win 10 originally installed, not upgraded, (as stated above). Any info/help you can offer will be deeply appreciated. Thanks

Exported my Firefox bookmarks from my HP DESKTOP to a flash drive and now need to import them to a new Dell laptop. Installed Firefox on my Laptop and it had a statement that stated import bookmarks. Tried it but didn't work. Both systems are Windows 11. was not logged into Mozilla when it was performed. Plan to use Dell laptop as backup to my desktop computer.

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??
