How do I "adapt uk41lql0.default to your own installation"? Do I copy its files into the Mail file so that the address is the same as on my computer?
I am attempting to migrate my mail from Evolution to Thunderbird following your instructions. I need a more specific how to. Do I change htcq....default to mail and copy its files there then add Evolutions mail files? Evolution = .local/share/evolution/mail/local, Thunderbird=.thunderbird/htcqxbpd.default/mail/local folders, ie change htc... to mail and copy its folders into mail.
I have not done this is at least 10 years so am very rusty.
Thank you for any assistanc you can give me.

What the instructions are saying is that you should copy all the Evolution folders under .local/share/evolution/mail/local to the directory .thunderbird/htcqxbpd.default/mail/local folders
The 'adapt ...' terminology is just saying that the user will have his/her own profile name with eight random characters followed by ".profile". the "uk41lql0.default" is only an example; "htcqxbpd.default" seems to be yours.

I am able to copy the folders over, but thunderbird does not read them. I have decided to keep it simple and simply put new mail folders in Thunderbird as needed and keep the evolution handy in case I need to refer back to something.
thank you
