We copied the old profile off of the old computer and put it in the profile folder on the new machine. We deleted the default profile folder and pointed the profile to the newly copied folder and then restarted Thunderbird and it does not pull up any of the old email addresses. There should be over (100). Email accounts that it pulls from. None of them come up.

Please include the full path for both, what you copied, and to where.

How exactly did you do that, and what is the name of the profile folder?

then restarted Thunderbird and it does not pull up any of the old email addresses.

What profile is used by Thunderbird when it's running? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-thunderbird-stores-user-data#w_how-to-find-your-profile

Please provide the name of the profile folder as well as the path to it.
