I am moving IMAP installation from 52.9.1 to Windows 10 TB version 102.2.0 Copying from old computer to new computer appear to work fine. On 1st start of Tunderbird Folders, Mail, Tasks all appear. I cancel out of login password request. Then perform requested compact. There is nothing in Address Book. There are 3 SQLLite files for Abook and History

I stop and then restart Thunderbird. None of my folders display on left. No emails show. Tasks do show. No address books show

Asks for Login Password, I cancel but still nothing.

Have you tried using the import option on the tools menu to import your old profile?

I did not import because the 1st time Tunderbird started after copying Thunderbird folder from old computer to new computer, all info (emails folders) appeared correctly.
