Moving Thunderbird from Macbook to Windows 11

Mike Henson

Hello

I have the Thunderbird folder from the Macbook which contains install and profiles ini files and Crash Reports, Profiles and Pending Pings.

I have made several attempts to move all the files and folders over but it doesn't matter whether I move them before I install Thunderbird or after I've installed Thunderbird and before I launch the program but every time I get invited to open a new account; I've even tried opening a new account and then moving the files.

I've searched the Forum and other websites but cannot find anyone reporting or rectifying such a problem.

What am I doing wrong?

Kind regards

Mike

This is the install.ini from the Macbook:

[6617B486D39D834F] Default=Profiles/xt1da1lu.default-esr-1 Locked=1

[712DAF5A23ABECDC] Default=Profiles/rn45ociq.default-esr Locked=1

This is the install.ini after its been copied to the Windows 11 Laptop and Thunderbird has been run for the first time:

[D78BF5DD33499EC2] Default=Profiles/fghoeb36.default-esr-2 Locked=1

[6617B486D39D834F] Default=Profiles/xt1da1lu.default-esr-1 Locked=1

[712DAF5A23ABECDC] Default=Profiles/rn45ociq.default-esr Locked=1

This is the profiles.ini from the Macbook:

[Profile2] Name=default-esr-1 IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/xt1da1lu.default-esr-1

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

[Install6617B486D39D834F] Default=Profiles/xt1da1lu.default-esr-1 Locked=1

[Profile0] Name=default-esr IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/rn45ociq.default-esr

[General] StartWithLastProfile=1 Version=2

[Install712DAF5A23ABECDC] Default=Profiles/rn45ociq.default-esr Locked=1


This is the profiles.ini after its been copied to the Windows 11 Laptop and Thunderbird has been run for the first time:

[Profile2] Name=default-esr-1 IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/xt1da1lu.default-esr-1

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

[General] StartWithLastProfile=1 Version=2

[Install712DAF5A23ABECDC] Default=Profiles/rn45ociq.default-esr Locked=1


These are the profile folders from the Macbook:

brkxhsos.default rn45ociq.default-esr xt1da1lu.default-esr-1

This is the profiles folder after its been copied to the Windows 11 Laptop and Thunderbird has been run for the first time:

brkxhsos.default fghoeb36.default-esr-2 rn45ociq.default-esr xt1da1lu.default-esr-1

It seems to me that, when run for the first time on the Windows 11 Laptop, Thunderbird is ignoring the files brought over from the Macbook and creating new files of it's own.

I will be very grateful if someone could tell me how to fix this problem.

Thank you

Mike
