I was using one of the older versions of Thunderbird (76) but I had to start using the latest version (86) because I needed it to sync with my work email.

I am running a debian-based Linux distribution. The older version was installed through the package manager, but the newest beta release came with the executable in the folder I downloaded. I therefore never really 'installed' it, I am just running the executable and everything is working fine.

My questions are:

1. How can I transfer my personal Thunderbird calendar from my older Thunderbird? I have other calendars elsewhere which I have already synced to the newest release, but the Thunderbird-specific calendar I was using in the older release seems to be gone. I found a folder inside the hidden .thunderbird folder called 'tvpkve6n.default-default'. Inside it, I see a folder called 'calendar-data'. I thought copying this folder to the current folder of the beta release would do the trick, but that didn't work. I also copied it to a beta folder inside the hidden .thunderbird folder, but that also did not work. Any suggestions?

2. How can I import my saved list of contacts from the older to the newest release? I couldn't find the file where my contacts are saved, and now every time I have to write an email I have to first go find that person's email, which is quite frustrating.

3. I now seem to have two instances of Thunderbird installed on my computer, which doesn't seem right. In the forum of my linux distribution, I was adviced to not run the older release again, because that might break the functioning of the newest release I am currently using. How can I 'install' the newest beta release, so every time I open, or update, Thunderbird, I will be using the newest release only?

Thanks in advance for the help!

V78 is the current release version.

Why not just add the additional IMAP account to your existing Thunderbird profile? You really have me confused by installing a beta version for this purpose. For employment related things the more stable the software the better is the usual mantra.

I need the beta version because it's the only one that supports my work's email authentication protocols.
