[QUOTE="sailnc, post: 1509727, member: 300123"] [b]finding the right profile[/b] Sorry to exhume this old thread but I just went through this and thought it might help someone else. (Moving from Win7 to Mac ML.) I first updated Tbird on the PC to their latest version, just to improve the chances that the email file formats would be similar. To find the current profile go to Thunderbird > Help > Troubleshooting Info; from there you'll find a button that opens the folder containing your current profile. Works the same on Win and Mac. I just copied all folder contents (making sure TBird was shut down on both machines). Launched TBird on the mac and it just worked! Over 10 years worth of email, about 1GB total; folder structures, server settings.... I was pleasantly surprised. [/QUOTE]
