I use Thunderbird 60.6.1 on macOS 10.14. I have 9 email accounts with about 20 email identities between them. I would like to copy all these to a Thunderbird profile in a Windows 10 VM that I'm running on the same machine. How can I do this?
I have tried copying the contents of my ~/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/<whatever>.default
profile directory over to the %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/Thunderbird/Profiles/<whatever>.default
on the Windows VM. It kind of works, in that mail appears there and I can log in to my mail server, but only 1 of my 9 email accounts shows up on the receiving end.
I have tried doing the transfer both with a .zip file of my profile that I transferred over using Dropbox and VMware shared folders, and a FAT-formatted USB drive that I first attached to the Mac side and then the Windows side. Same results with both procedures: only one (my primary) email account shows up on the receiving Windows side.
Any ideas?
1Was Thunderbird closed when you copied the profile? Were you logged into macOS when you copied it? – fixer1234 – 2019-04-30T06:29:28.497
Thunderbird was closed, and i was logged in to macOS. – Andrew Janke – 2019-05-02T15:04:07.447
