I'm moving from PC to iMac. I think that I have brought successfully my profile. My work id of addressbook, but no mail received file is obvious. The Mail subfolder in the profile of 'new' - "Mail" - is about the same size - 1.6 GB - as it was on the PC, so I guess that the mail has not moved, however, there is no sign of what I can find on the page "news" of Thunderbird. I did move by copying the profile folder of the PC on the Mac desktop, raise the profile of Mac beside him folder and dragging the PC Mail subfolder to the mail folder in the Mac profile. I think I am way over my head here; I really want to solve the problem, so I can mothball the PC. Thanks is advance for your help.

OK, the ini file will be

MacHD>Users>RKW (me)>Library>Thunderbird

The profile folder will be in MacHD > users > RKW (me) > library > Thunderbird > profiles with a name like d1234pg. By default. When copying content. It is this lower level folder called. Not MacHD > users > RKW (me) > library > Thunderbird > profiles.

To simplify a little (I hope so.

Install Thunderbird. go to the Help menu in Thunderbird and select troubleshooting information.
In this tab, click on the button show the frlder for the profile.
Finder will open with the open current profile folder.
Close Thunderbird.

Now, locate the old profile folder, it will be contains pref.js as a file among many others.
Copy the files and folder to this folder, and place them in the new folder Thunderbird open in the Finder for you. To replace the files.

Open Thunderbird and you should have it all.
