I'm trying to find some help with a Thunderbird issue. Might be something simple, but seems like I'm hitting a brick wall.
Since there isn't much TB discussion/troubleshooting in the places I've visited, I hope there are some experienced TB users here who can help. (crossing fingers).
I have a backup of my library, which includes my ThunderBird 0.5 profile and all the mailboxes and mail therein. Prefs are also saved in the preferences. Etc. I did a fresh install of OS X and installed TB 0.6.
Problem: I can't restore my old profile? or get all three mailboxes restored/re-imported?
I've tried different things and some combinations. Copied my old profile next to new default, removed new default. Nada. Copied the backup mailboxes into the new profile ... The most I get is the main mailbox, with the same name as the profile. 2 other mailboxes, even though copied into place do not show?
Thinking 0.6 would upgrade things from a working 0.5. I reverted back to TB 0.5 hoping TB 0.5 would recognize all three. Trashed 0.6. Installed 0.5. Copied backup profile into place. Only one mailbox shows?
---> What's the working procedure to restore my accounts, email, settings and rules from my old TB 0.5 library backup to my new T.B 06 ?
Thanks for your help!
