Hi - I have been looking for over 2 days. How do I import all my data (emails, addresses calendar) from Outlook to Thunderbird.

I have tried Import tool within Thunderbird - import from Outlook. I tried MailStore and was totally confused - the terminology was strange. I managed to make an archive - it took ages to find where it was and I still do not know the file extension.

No videos...nothing.

Thanks

I'm running Win10 and Thunderbird 128.6.0esr. I wanted to move my profile from C: to a different drive (in my case, the D drive). I Googled and got lots of hits, both on the Thunderbird support site and elsewhere, that seemed to indicate to me that some users were seemingly having issues getting this task completed.

Also, looking around in my Windows "AppData" subdirectories, I noticed that there are actually two "profile" directories.

For example: C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles\abcdefgh.default C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\abcdefgh.default

Many of the instructions I found were dated from two years ago or more and only discussed moving one profile directory (the one in "Roaming") and I wondered if, in the interim, there's been an addition of a second profile directory that wasn't being addressed in the "old" instructions I was finding on the Web.

So instead of trying any of the suggested procedures I decided to try something else that seemed to be simpler and more straightforward to me. After performing the process I decided to try, testing seems to indicate it works just fine. However, I thought I'd leave this message to ask if there's some issue that can result by doing it as I did.

All I did was to create a new directory on my D drive to hold to two profile directories. Inside this new directory, I created two subdirectories called "AppData-Local" and "AppData-Roaming" to hold the two respective profile directories. With Thunderbird closed, I then copied the two original profile directories into their new respective directories on the D drive:

D:\Thunderbird Profiles\AppData-Local\abcdefgh.default D:\Thunderbird Profiles\AppData-Roaming\abcdefgh.default

Just to be safe, I then renamed the original profile directories under the "...\AppData\..." directory on C: so that if my idea went south, I could just restore the original configuration easily because they weren't deleted. So the original profile directories became...

C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles\abcdefgh.default.delete_me C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\abcdefgh.default.delete_me

All that was left was to open a Windows "cmd" console window (running as administrator) and create a symbolic link in each of the original directories on the C drive that point to the new locations of the directories on the D drive:

C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles>mklink /D "abcdefgh.default" "D:\Thunderbird Profiles\AppData-Roaming\abcdefgh.default"

C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles>mklink /D "abcdefgh.default" "D:\Thunderbird Profiles\AppData-Local\abcdefgh.default"

(Note that I changed the "current directory" before running each "mklink" command to put the symlink in the right directory.)

Then, I started up Thunderbird and... it was as if nothing happened. Everything (old messages, settings, etc.) was still there exactly as before. So far, my limited testing seems to indicate that this process worked without a hitch. I even tried the Thunderbird "backup profile" feature and it created a zip file that seems to contain a subset of the contents of the "Roaming" profile directory, which I suspect is perhaps all that really needs to be saved in a profile backup? Right?

Just in case, I haven't deleted the original, but renamed, profile directories yet. I thought I'd post this message and see if anyone has a reason why moving the profile to a different drive by this symlink process is a "big mistake." Or even a "little mistake" for that matter.

I've used Thunderbird for years, and I LOVE it! A few days ago, my hard drive died. I had it replaced, and I've used my data backup to recover much. I did NOT have programs/apps backed up. I need VERY SPECIFIC steps to download and reinstall Thunderbird so that it uses my old profile. Should I first delete EVERYTHING having to do with Thunderbird and start anew? I did download it today and then went to the C:Users/Owner/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird folder. In that folder, I deleted the "new" profile file (I think!). Then I moved my backed up folder called Profiles into that directory. I tried to get Thunderbird to use that profile, but no luck. I'm reasonably intelligent (I've been told!), but I can't figure how to do this, and I truly need a step-by-step blueprint. Do I download Thunderbird first? If so, what do I then do to make it find the old profile. I'm running Windows 11 Home on a PC. Right now, I'm going for a long walk to clear my brain. In the interim, if one of you really smart, nice experts could give me instructions on how to do this, I'd be eternally grateful. I have numerous folders, and some really important old emails in that old profile. I also would like to be able to retrieve my address book and calendars ... which I ASSUME are part of the old profile. Thanks in advance for ANY assistance! Don't assume I know ANYTHING!!

After registering, I just received a message saying: "Hi, Daniel! Thank you for being part of the Thunderbird family!".

It also says : "Thunderbird 115 is available! ".

Should I update to this version ? Is safer than the version TDB 128.6.1esr I'm using ?

Sorry if my question is trivial...

All the best, Daniel
