I am performing a mock DR exercise before the leap from Centos7 to Stream(whatever). The new system installation, TB install, updates, and reboot. Then the move. I "export TB" from the existing workstation to the zip file. rsync to the DR test box. Perform a TB import of the zip file. All three email accounts and data appear to be imported. But which bit bucket did all the settings get sent to. I do not recognize the TB application. I should be able to send ALL the TB data using the export/import tool. Or find a set of directories and files that will bring back what I have taken 2 years to customize. I am extremely lazy and do not want to figer out how to recreate my current interface to TB.

This is open to a variety of solutions. To me, the only safe way to move a profile is to use the OS file copy facility. I cannot give details for Linux, other than offer these steps: - click help>troubleshootinginformation - scroll down to 'profile folder' and click 'open profile' - exit Thunderbird and click back one folder in the file view window so that you are looking at the profile folder itself, which probably ends in 'default' or 'default-release' - copy that folder to an external media - start thunderbird on the new computer - click tools>import>importfromanotherthunderbirdinstallation - follow the menus and select the exported profile to import

From my experience with a few prior posts, the import/export utility may be insufficient to this task.

Thanks, I did need the second set of eyes! instead of rsync of "Documents" I created a tarball of the user home directory. This picked up many of the missing pieces. However the look of Thunderbird is simply what it is. I'm guessing version 102.15 is not looking quite the same as version 115.6.1 (shame). The TB settings from the original box do not get transferred to the DR test box even after the import. And now I believe that Calendar is not part of export. Still looking at this, as my DR box is void of calendar entries.
