Re: ''usb drive I used to transfer the data has the Thunderbird folder with two profiles in it. Re :''There is only one profile on the new computer.'' But the pop account folders are not there.

Re:''On old computer I recently created another account since our isp switched from pop to imap. So on new computer, do you have two 'profile name' folders in the Appdata/Roaming/ Thunderbird/'Profiles' folder? You will not see the pop mail account because Thunderbird does not know about that pasted in 'profile name' folder. You will still see the imap account because you created it on new computer in the default profile name folder - they were not removed/overwritten. The 'profiles.ini' file will know nothing about the 'profile name' folder you pasted into the 'Profiles' folder. In this case you should see exactly the same as the old computer because you are using the identical profile information.īut if you copied the 'profile name' folder - (by default it is called 'fault' where the x's are letters and numbers ) and pasted it into the Appdata/Roaming/ Thunderbird/'Profiles' folder, then you will still be running the original default profile name. If you Exited Thunderbird on both computers and accessed profile folders on old computer and copied the entire Appdata/Roaming/ 'Thunderbird' folder and then accessed the Appdata/'Roaming' folder on new computer and pasted the 'Thunderbird' folder into the Appdata/'Roaming' folder in the process you would overwrite the existing Thunderbird folder or deleted it first. But the pop account folders are not there.īut what exactly did you copy and where did you put it? Re: Two weeks later I installed tbird on the new computer and created an account with the imap server settings and copied the profile folder from the old and placed on the new computer. Re: On old computer I recently created another account since our isp switched from pop to imap.Īm I correct in presuming you have both a pop and an imap account for same email address currently on old computer?
Atom cant create new folder in mac how to#
if you answer yes to this last question, then it might be easier to export pop mbox files and then import them into the new 'Local Folders' mail account.ĭepending upon info you supply, I'll offer advise on how to proceed. Have you created any mail accounts and downloaded emails?. But this will remove anything already setup on new computer.ĭid you run it once to create a default profile name folder? It is possible to copy the entire old profile and move it to new computer, so Thunderbird uses old profile.
So rather than be concerned about creating folders, perhaps it would be a good idea to look at what you want to achieve which is puttin emails on new computer.Ĭould you provide some info so I understand current situation and advise you on how to move old pop emails to new computer. In both instances the emails are stored in mbox files on your computer in the same profile name folder. There is no point moving emails from a pop mail account into 'Local Folders' mail account in order to move emails to another computer. Read this answer in context ? 0 All Replies (6) The line which says something like this: Path=Profiles/ faultĬhange the letters and numbers to match the 'profile name' folder you just added. Open the 'profiles.ini' file using Notepad. Go up a level to see contents of Appdata/Roaming/ 'Thunderbird' folder. Paste the usb 'profile name' folder into new computer here - in the 'Profiles' folder:Īppdata/Roaming/ Thunderbird/' Profiles' folder Make sure Thunderbird is not running on new computer. If unsure, one of them will be right, so if it does not work first time, you can try the second one. I'm assuming you still have old computer so you can check. Which 'Profile name' folder - 'fault' where the x's are letters and numbers, is the same as the one on the old computer? Re: usb drive I used to transfer the data has the Thunderbird folder with two profiles in it. This sounds like the original default one created when you installed Thunderbird. Re : There is only one profile on the new computer.
