Mailwasher Pro reply - Thunderbird wants to create a new newsgroup account upon launching

I just moved & migrated all of my Mail Washer Pro & Thunderbird Portable settings over to a new system. I am having an issue on the new computer.

When Mailwasher Pro launches Thunderbird to "reply" to a message it opens a new message window but a "New Account Setup" wizard dialog launches every time and it wants me to create a new "Newsgroup account"

If Thunderbird is running it works fine and creates a new quoted reply from MWP. But I don't want Thunderbird running all the time. It worked fine on my previous system, but I have hit this snag on the new one.

I have check all the settings in both TB & MWP on both systems and they appear to be the same. But something obviously is not the same.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

I did dig a little deeper and found that my probably my "profile" wasn't migrated from the told machine. I copied those folders over and and it seemed to get rid of the problem.

Here is the dialog that pops up. It wouldn't attach to my first question for some reason.
