TB will not recognize profile after upgrade to win 10

I was finally forced to upgrade from win7 (which worked) to win 10 (me no likey) because of a required program which would not even install on win7. After the upgrade, which obliterated my hard drive of several important things, I am reinstalling TB. I always used an NAS directory for Thunderbird, and have email records going back nearly twenty years. I installed TB 115 and have tried several ways to get it to recognize my profile directory on the NAS to no avail. I tried copying data into the default directory the 115 install is looking at. The about:profiles shows it is looking in the correct directory, it produces a parent.lock file in that directory when I run the program. It does not give me my email, or contacts. I do not use the calendar or to-do lists.

My system is an AMD K6-6400K with 16 GB and a 500 GB drive. Though programs are loaded on the drive ALL data is stored in an NAS. There is about 375 GB available on the C drive.

I have used the cmd line to pull up profile manager, added a profile, pointed it to the data that is on the NAS, a parent lock file is created there too but it shows me no mail.

I have edited the profiles.ini file manually to have the program look at the directories, both the NAS and a local directory which has had the old files entered. Neither worked.

I tried opening TB and creating a new profile and pre-loading the info there, nothing. I've been at this for days now. I have uninstalled and removed manually all TB folders and reinstalled older versions to give that a go but without effect. I am no Luddite (Many years ago I owned a system integration, assembly and install company doing networking for the military as a civilian contractor.) but someone has to explain this to me like I am a five year old. There is no reason having my email back should be this difficult!

PLEASE give me a hand?

My TB directory appears in C:\Users\owner\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird My old data folder was on a network drive at M:\Users\owner\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\profiles\k5zbs5az.default When I manually enter the M: address in the profiles.ini file, it "corrects" it to C:\Users\owner\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\ even though the switch 'relative' is off.

[Profile1] Name=default IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/zpfeu8eu.default Default=1

[Profile0] Name=default-beta IsRelative=0 Path=C:\Users\owner\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird

[General] StartWithLastProfile=0 Version=2

[Install5D388C1349709B37] Default=C:\Users\owner\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird Locked=1

Running the Mozilla application with a specific profile using command line arguments brings up the program but no mail. It creates a lock file in the correct directory, but no joy.

I get no pop up error messages.

No MAB files.

As to customizing... I'll play with that.. why didn't I find that when I was looking? I'm losing it.

Hope it will let me do what I need to get one bar to disappear completely. Thanks.

Well here we are in June of 2024 and I have learned to live with the limitations.

Daily I wish the old interface was back I can still look at it and think "it should have more space than it does... I am working on a 43" monitor and it still sucks.

I forever lost my email addresses. I have gone to look for specific information and have pulled some from SENT history, others... NFL.

Alas, there is no skin to restore the old format; and no mechanism to recover the data lost.

What was the starting Thunderbird version for the data on NAS?

Did you follow this path https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/upgrading-older-version-thunderbird ?

Oh gosh, I don't know. I've been using Tbird since at least 2020. I went to T-Bird when SeaMonkey became too much to manage. I found myself swapping among three browsers to get my work done. BofA demanded the use of Chome, other banks followed, but I did so much in SeaMonkey. Firefox seemed the appropriate browser to utilize but other members of the family used Chromebooks and Android or IOs tablets; I needed a central email program... ThunderBird!
