Migrating from Windows to Linux
HI, I have switched from Windows to Linux but I do not know how to migrate Thunderbird. I have done it before from Windows to Windows. I saved my Thunderbird folder expecting to paste it into my new OS but I cannot figure out where to paste it. Clicking on "open directory" in "troubleshooting information" does nothing. I installed Thunderbird on the new OS. I pasted the folder in the home directory and renamed it .thunderbird, but the app still does not find my data. I am using elementary OS. I am new to Linux. Step by Step instructions help a lot. Thank you for your help!

Sorry for the post, I figured it out from a reply from sfhowes on another thread. Unfortunately I cannot find it now to include it here. Basically what I did was, after finally finding where Linux put the .thunderbird folder ( Help - Troubleshooting information - about:profiles) I replaced the contents with the Thunderbird folder from Windows, then put the "profiles" folder contents directly into .thunderbird folder, then deleted the "profiles" folder. Then deleted the Profiles path from the two .ini folder contents. Then, after opening TB, had to choose the right profile to make it the default. Whew......
