Dear Thunderbird champions

The problem is as follows:

I had all my work emails on thunderbird on my PC. After I stopped working in this company, they disconnected my email from the server as I no longer work there but I can still access my old emails as they are downloaded in the thunderbird profile. I can access them and work with them offline.

Now, I need to access these emails on my laptop so I copied the thunderbird profile from my PC to my laptop. After I copy the thunderbird profile into my laptop, I can see all the emails and work with them as normal. When I close thunderbird or switch off the laptop and restart it again, all my emails disappear and I have to copy again the profile from my PC into my laptop.

Is there an easier way to do this? It takes time to copy the profile

thanks a lot

Use the add-on to export from one profile and import to the local folders on the other.
