HI. On debian 12.8 snap installation of thunderbird, the import from previous profile fails to import messages. I think the problem is because the install procedure creates the subfolder of ImapMail and Mail with the permission 555 instead of 755 or similar.

The error console reports: NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED: Component returned failure code: 0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED) [nsIMsgPluggableStore.createFolder] 2 Pop3IncomingServer.sys.mjs:137 

   createDefaultMailboxes resource:///modules/Pop3IncomingServer.sys.mjs:137
