Windows 7 crashed. Bought a new Win 10 machine. External hard drive had weekly MozBackups of Thunderbird profile. Latest backup was "Thunderbird 78.4.3 (en-US) - 2020-11-19.pcv" and is 2.22 GB in size. Currently have Thunderbird 78.5.0 installed on Win10 Machine. When I try to import the file, it seems to be importing everything, then when I look to see the imported data there isn't any. Also tried importing the previous week's backup with same results. I also have a backup of the profile directory, but not the path info, unless it is in the profile. Any thoughts? I saw in one posting suggesting I could copy the profile into place, but would need to edit paths. If so, any clues as to which files I would have to edit. Thanks.

It looks like my post was truncated - this seems be missing: any. Also tried importing the previous week's backup with same results.
