Cannot "Add Account" to Desktop, Trying to Import from Mobile

Got a new my-own-build desktop and have been doing a lot of set up. Found out Outlook limited me to 10 email accounts (odd since I had more than 10 on the old machine) and so A.I. said "use Thunderbird", which I did use regularly in the 2000-early 2010s. I am setting up (adding accounts) to Thunderbird but one of the gmail accounts gave me problems--Google was causing the problem, not Thunderbird--in setup/authentication and now this account wont add to the desktop for some reason. So I went to my mobile and added the account and am now trying to export that account (through PhoneLink) to the desktop, but the desktop "Import" feature does not have a setting import the file from the phone into the desktop. File has a name 'thunderbird_settings_export_2024-12-21.k9s' and not a 'zip' file or any other thing the Import feature looks at.

You are probably better off setting the account up via thunderbird's normal menus, as the password on the phone won't work on the desktop. Generally, setting up on a PC requres that you have thunderbird set to accept cookies and to omit password during setup.

Hjälpsam?
