Importing e-mail from another Mac

Hey, everyone!

About this time last year, I bought a 2008 MacPro, installed Thunderbird and I was able to connect via WiFi to my old black MacBook and import all my old email accounts, the e-mails, everything. At that time importing a profile and all the accompanying info ad e-mails was experimental.

Fast forward to today and I am replacing my 2008 MacBook with a 2014 MacBook Air, running Big Sur. Of course, I installed Thunderbird, but every method for importing e-mails is for importing from a different program, not importing a pre-existing Thunderbird profile from another machine.

Has this capability been removed? How do I go about getting my accounts imported from my MacPro to my MacBook Air?

Thanks!

I cannot tell you the location, but if you locate the complete profile and copy to same location on new machine, you should have no problems. On Windows, that is the c:\users\(userID)\appdata\roaming\thunderbird folder, as that includes the user profile and also the files that Thunderbird uses to locate the profile. I gave this advice last week to another MAC user and it worked okay. Good luck.

I'm sorry, I tried that. I found and replaced the Thunderbird folder on my new Mac laptop with a copy of the folder from my Mac desktop and every time I restarted Thunderbird, it wouldn't recognize the old profile.
