Moving local Thunderbird Folders

Thunderbird İçe ve dışa aktarma ayarları

Hi,

I am moving from a Windows 10 desktop to Windows 11 desktop. I can see how to move Thunderbird data to a new computer, but my question is:

Does moving Thunderbird data from one computer to another as described in the video and help pages also move the local folders which were originally created on the Windows 10 machine? If not, how can I do this?

Thank you, Barry

I don't know what video or help pages you saw, but these steps work. They transfer the entire profile (accounts, settings, local folders).

Here is the link for moving a profile in Windows when installed in default location: 

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer

here is the info in brief steps:

  1. ensure thunderbird is NOT running on old machine
  2. enter %appdata% in search window on task bar and press Enter key
  3. this should open windows file explorer in Appdata\roaming folder
  4. highlight the Thunderbird folder and copy to external media
  5. ensure thunderbird is installed on second computer and NOT running
  6. enter %appdata% in search window on task bar and press Enter key
  7. you should be in Appdata\roaming folder , copy&paste the exported Thunderbird folder there. This may prompt to overwrite an existing folder of same name. allow it
  8. start thunderbird and all should be there
