Thunderbird Not Showing New Profile

Hello,

I followed the instructions to migrate Thunderbird profile data to a new computer.

I copied and pasted all the files and folders in the old profile into the new profile.

But when I started up Thunderbird for the first time, it didn't populate it with the profile data.

It was just blank and asked if I wanted to create a new email address.

Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
