Problem with --allow-downgrade
Moving from a windows to linux machine. Have been using beta version on windows but want to return to release version. I copied my profile a ag1kxn1i.default directory from windows to ~/.thunderbird/ and ran thunderbird -p --allow-downgrade but it does not provide by profile directory as an option. If I add it to profiles.ini it provides the option but does not see to recognise the contents because it shows opens and asks me to register an email address. Linux has 91.5 installed, Windows 98.0b1.

Thanks for your reply. mea culpa. It helps when you copy the right folder. I should have been suspicious when it copied so quickly. Now have email working on Linux with 98.0b2. Have not yet tried to downgrade yet. Now debating whether to install release version via package manager or continue with the down loaded tar install. The later will update similarly to windows, but the disadvantage is it is only installed for one user.

Update. I notice in another post that it suggested that it is suggested to use the same version and so I have installed 98.0b2 on both machines and after opening 98.0b2 on the windows machine have again moved my profile directory ag1kxn1i.default to the linux box and ran thunderbird with the -p option and again it does not find the profile.
Does it work with -profilemanager instead of -p?
