I've saved my thunderbird data from Win10 computer following the instructions but when I copy the file to the new computer win11 it doesn't seem to work I'm not sure whats happening. The process I followed is install thunderbird, go to help menu, trouble shooting , open file (profile), close thunderbird, go up 3 levels to roaming, then paste the copied file in the thunderbird file and close. then open thunderbird. It still wants me to set my account up and there is no data. Is there something I'm missing. Thanks for any help in advance. Cheers Stuart

Hi,

I have a very old 32bit computer with Windows 10 which has Thunderbird profile located in C:\Users\mbc0\AppData\Local\Mozilla Thunderbird

The new computer Windows 11 64bit has the profile stored in C:\Users\mbc0\AppData\Local\Thunderbird

The file structure also looks completely different, how do I move all my email/address books etc to the new installation please?

I changed operating system from Win 10 to Linux. Can I import the file or files from my Firefox on Win 10 to my Firefox on Linux? If so, where can I find them on the windows drv and what is the file called? Thanks for your help Ray

I have change to a new PC and i could not renember my password. I have to get acces to my account by a link to reset my passeword. After that I can not import my bookmarks to the new pc.

I've been upgrading from Win 7 and Thunderbird (TB) version 68.1.1 (32 bit) to most recent TB Version 145.0.7632.117 (Official Build) (64-bit) NOTE: From a old Dell Inspiron 580 to Alienware Aurora Act 1250.

With new system and TB, I can export with handy-dandy exporter for TB 145.0.7632.117 but need them off old Windows 7 box. I see that the Legacy Add-on "Password Exporter" doesn't have versions high enough to work with most recent TB. And, I can't find a exporter for the old TB.

I have tried listing them in the old TB, but can't Capy/Paste. I made good quality screen caps and pieced them together in to one list. I was hoping to put the screen cap through a OCR but too costly for just one operation, and won't put it to a Online OCR - not when the image contains such things as ID';s and passwords.

Is there any way the data and passwords can be extracted from the old TB?

Many thanks for your help,

I have a new windows 11 laptop. Transferring from a windows 10 laptop. I have installed Thunderbird on new machine. It is also my email on old machine. I have clicked on import within Thunderbird. The instruction is to go to C:/Users/myusername/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/b4553kng.default NB I can't find backslash on my keyboard, so I'm using / When I look in myusername, there is no folder called AppData There is a folder called Roaming, but it just has folders Intel/Wireless, which is empty. In C: Program Files, there is a folder called Mozilla Thunderbird, but it has no folder called Profiles. I have seached C: for any folder called AppData, but no results. Can anyone help?
