How can I move a profile of one email account to be included in my own profile but remain distinct?

kaz4

My father recently passed away, and both of us have been Thunderbird users for a very long time (Agent Forte before that). Can I move his Thunderbird profile so that it is incorporated into mine, with all his old emails? In my profile, I already have three different email accounts listed, with their own inbox and their own sent box. I would love his emails to be like that, so that I can download emails sent to his address from my profile, but they remain distinctly within that account? How do I do that? Thank you!

Sorry to hear that.

If you have your father's password, you can just add his email account to your Thunderbird.

If not, but you can still access your father's Thunderbird, you can copy his emails to a shared local folder and open the local folder from your Thunderbird.

If I add his email account to my Thunderbird, how do I copy over all his old emails? I'd like to keep them because it was a business account and there could be knowledge like suppliers in there that may help in the future.

The emails for that account will automatically synced from the email server.

If you want to be safe, you can first select and copy all the emails to a local folder. After this, you can add the account to your Thunderbird.
