Update problems from TB pre-115 to 115. How to convert filterlists?

On Windows, the updater from Thunderbird didnt update at all. You need to manually download the new exe and do it there, pretty weird.

On Linux, the Flatpak updates normally. But having a really old profile seems to break things, my inbox was gone from the "bundled folders" view, so I set up a new profile again (using the -p argument, this is non standard!)

So now: How do I export:

  • contacts
  • filters
  • accounts
  • set up calendars
  • custom local folders
  • local mails
  • ...

from one Thunderbird to another? This is not especially my problem, but its a general one and its important.

I simply need a way to export my filters, as I dont want to make them again. The rest is already done, except contacts, where I have no idea how they are actually used and it never worked for me.

I think this was fixed. In some setting there is an export function and its possible to import. Nice!
