Can't effectively transfer profile to new pc. Spent hours and various suggested solutions.
I saved my Thunderbird profile to an external hard drive, then I reset my pc. I installed Thunderbird and tried to move the profile to the new pc without success. I read various articles on how to do this but none worked for me. I found how to create a new profile and tried that and then moved the mail files into it, but still no success. I must be missing an important step. I can set up new mail but that doesn't transfer years of old saved mail some of which has important keys etc. After multiple hours at this I am very frustrated. Please help.

Did you follow these instructions?
To start Profile Manager, close TB, Windows key+R, type
thunderbird.exe -p
Next time, save the Thunderbird folder, which contains the profile folder and the important profiles.ini file:

I had already tried some of those with no success. I then tried "Nothing you do works" and lo and behold that worked!! Thanks much for your help. Now I just have to figure out all the other problems caused by reinstalling Windows.
