No accounts (I have 5 accounts), no emails, or passwords, so it asks me to set up my first account with the set up wizard already open! However, what I got was a message "Need to create a new profile because this is an older version", and it created a new profile but folders are all empty. I removed pkcs11.txt from the profile folder thunderbird folder so profile folder is emptyĤ.
Copied all files from Profile folder into. Copied all files and folders including the ini files from Thunderbird profile in Windows to. thunderbird folder in Linux with -old so that I can recover them in case they are neededĢ. I followed the instructions to migrate from Windows 7 to Linux as described in Thunderbird support forums. Migration from Seamonkey to Thunderbird worked fine on Windows 7. Originally the Windows PC had Seamonkey, and reading about the migration I decided it is best to switch to Thunderbird in Windows 7 before migrating as Seamonkey appeared to have a lot of issues when migrating to Linux.
I am migrating a Windows 7 PC to a brand new Linux Mint PC, but both PCs are on Windows Workgroup so I am not using flash drives to copy data.
It may be that it refers to older version of Mint. Thanks.There is thread on this which is marked as "Solved", but I have not been able to successfully complete the process following the instructions on that thread. I'm hoping someone can immediately tell me whether I'm going to be banging my head against a wall.
If this proves doable, I'll not keep any e-mails on my ISP's server.ĭoes anyone know off the top of their head whether the above is possible? I've downloaded the mozillaZine articles "Moving your mail storage location - Thunderbird" and "Moving your profile folder" (links immediately below), but I haven't yet spent the time to determine whether the profile.ini file(s) are going to be an insurmountable issue or whether there will be additional issues. I'm concerned with only one e-mail address. I'd like to be able to store all of these e-mails on a single usb flash drive that I'd be able to plug into either laptop (I intend to periodically back up the flash drive e-mails to a hard drive). I've got Thunderbird installed on the Windows 7 PC and have brought down all of my e-mail files from my ISP's POP3 server, leaving the original emails on that server for the time being, until I dare to delete them as I download them. I often use either of these laptops on other networks, such that they aren't visible to each other. I've two Dell laptops, one running 32-bit Windows 7 SP1, the other 64-bit Windows 10. I know next to nothing about Thunderbird, other than the mail feature looks somewhat similar to that of Netscape 7.x which I used to use.
