transfer thunderbird profile from XP to 7
hi , first post here on this forum but i have been stalking in the corner for a while :)
i have a dual boot with windows XP SP3 , and windows 7.
and i might just say that windows 7 is very nice
i am trying to setup thunderbird and would like to transfer all my profile settings/emails/local emails to the windows 7 thunderbird.
it doesn't seem to be working
does anyone have any tips for me? i have scrolled through the net for an hours or so including this forum and have tried several different options.
there is 2 different locations on windows 7 for the thunderbird profile
c:\users\*username*\AppData\Roaming\thunderbird\profile
and
c:\users\*username*\AppData\Local\thunderbird\profile
but only one on windows xp
c:\documents and settings\*username*Application Data\thunderbird\profile
if i copy the profile folder from xp to both locations on windows 7 it wont work, or just one location on windows 7 same thing
does anyone know of a easy way to do it?
i stupidly had Tbird running on windows 7 but thought i would be smart and try to set it up exactly th esame as XP - and it stopped working - uninstalled it - reinstalled it and now just want to transfer email/profile settings over.
thanks in advance ! :)
