Trying to move Thunderbird complete from one PC to another. Using OS Windows 10 on both PC's. When I copy the entire Profile from directory "Thunderbird" and below and then copy into the Roaming directory on the new PC, nothing happens. The new Thunderbird opens like it was empty and asks to create a new email. There is no sign of my profile transfer. I followed the online instructions to a tee and nothing. Any ideas? Thx Bill

click the windows icon on taskbar and on the opening window, enter run and press enter. That should open up a small command line window: there enter thunderbird.exe -p and press enter. That brings up profile manager panel. click 'create profile' and browse/select the folder you placed and give a name to profile manager . Continue to TB and you should be okay. (TB doesn't usually recognize the profile until told about it.)

You have to copy the ../AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird folder, which includes the Profiles folder and the all-important profiles.ini file, into ../AppData/Roaming.
