I migrated one mac, which was intel based, to another, which is M4.
It all went fine.
I have the same versions of OS and Thunderbird on each, before the migration.
The new machine is a 2025 Mac Studio.
The old machine is a 2018 Mac Mini, 6 core Intel Core.15
On the old machine in Thunderbird, under my user, all my files are listed.
On the new machine, files are not listed.
I saw a lot of information/suggestions to replace the Profile folder under:
USER/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles
And I copied it straight over from the old machine, with negative results.
I did notice that under profiles, it continues:
m8mojurw.default-esr/Mail/Local Folders/ where there are some other goodies, some of which are "documents".
however, on the new machine, those same files are there, except they are "unix executable files"
I have migrated many times over the years and this hasn't happened.
I have done all of the suggestions I found so far, such as the Profile copy/past, reinstalled Thunderbird from scratch, looked thru comparisons of the Account Settings....
Oh, a couple more things:
If I look under my user and go to "Account settings" then "copies & folders"
to looks different on the 2 machines.
The old machine has:
a check next to "Place a copy in" and under that a dot for
"Sent folder on:" and my user name.
On the new machine there is:
"Place a copy in" and I cannot write into the "sent folder on" space, I can only select Choose and Account -> Local files
as if the user doesn't exist (?)
Thanks
