i have an old win10 machine with a huge thunderbird profile - 37.9GB size / 75.2GB disk. i'd like to move it with Tools Export / Import to a new win11 machine.
on win10 i click thru tools > export > open profile folder
and in ...\thunderbird\profiles i select yhcc00j7.dan
and export it to an external ssd.
it runs for hours and then a number of these appear:
"Are you sure you want to copy with file without its properties? The file %2B...." has properties that can't be copied to the new location.... Type WDSEML file size 1.02KB....".
so i check "Do this for all current items" and hours later it finishes.
on win11 i click thru
tools > import > import from another thunderbird profile > choose a profile
and select the folder yhcc00j7.dan on the ssd
and import everything > start
for a minute or so it says
"importing .... 0%"
but no new profile shows up in ...appdata\roaming\thunderbird\profiles\
and then "import failed unexpectedly" is displayed.
i've tried this twice. both machines have version 115.11.1 "esr update channel". what am i doing wrong?
