Copying the Thunderbird Profile Folder
When I copied my Thunderbird profile folder from my source computer to my new computer, something happened to the directory names. A directory name like "2021/11/23 138503825364 Lions Pin" on the source computer now comes up on the new computer as something like 2021194cde13. I wonder what is going on and if there is some way I can get the old directory names to come up on my new computer. When I copied the profile folder, messages about the length of the directory names kept coming up.

Are OS versions and your Win acc dir structure the same on both PCs?
No. Source computer Windows 7 Home. New computer Windows 10 Pro. Don't know what Win acc dir structure means.
Also Source computer: Thunderbird release 91.4.0 (32 BIT) New computer: Thunderbird release 91.4.1 (64 bit)
Try exactly following Moving Tbird Profile. If it doesn't work, just import all mail again from your webmail servers (limit full messages IMAP sync to 30 days in acc settings, so it only keeps on PC old headers, but message bodies remain on webserver). I usually create accs and import messages again each time after major Tbird or Windows updates, since Tbird tends to corrupt local mail DBs periodically and at times unable to repair cleanly. Of course, PC user acc directory structure changes btw Windows releases too, so you may hit the folder address length limit.
