Hello

I have been Using Windows 10 latest version of Thunderbird and have my profile on an external drive.

Now that I am switching to Linux Mint, I have created a new profile pointing to the same folder Windows 10 created for Thunderbird. Restarting Thunderbird, and I get an error, saying that a newer version of Thunderbird created the profile and is not accessible to Linux Mint Thunderbird.

How can this be remedied?

Thank you. Todd
