Installing Thunderbird profile on new computer
I want to install Thunderbird on my new computer (Windows 11) from my old (Windows 10). But I cannot open the downloaded version of Thunderbird - it keeps saying there is no profile. Of course there is no profile before I have installed it! I de-installed and re-installed the Thunderbird program, but it keeps saying the same thing. How can I open Thunderbird to install the profile?

did you download from thunderbird.net? assuming the answer is yes, do this: at windows task bar, enter %appdata% in search window and press enter This should take you to the appdata\roaming window in explorer if there is a thunderbird folder, delete it Now, install thunderbird, start once and then exit
Now follow these steps:
- ensure thunderbird is NOT running on old machine
- enter %appdata% in search window on task bar and press Enter key
- this should open windows file explorer in Appdata\roaming folder
- highlight the Thunderbird folder and copy to external media
- ensure thunderbird is installed on second computer, started once and NOT running
- enter %appdata% in search window on task bar and press Enter key
- 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
# start thunderbird and all should be there
Thanks a lot, David!
