Forum zgromaźeństwa Thunderbird

Hello All and Happy Holidays,

I work at an IT repair shop and am having the most difficult time attempting to migrate Thunderbird data from a customer's old PC to a new PC. I followed the steps of copying/pasting the data, and it mostly works. The primary issue is that it did not bring over all the local folders that he had saved apart from his IMAP account. The customer is an ex computer science professor and is going blind, so a lot of his relevant information is organized within these folders. Key issues that have made this different from a typical install: -Profile & Local folders are stored in his old OS drive (that is now D:) D:/~/user/appdata/roaming/Thunderbird/~ -files are more than 2GB, so I'm unable to export as .zip -His folders are alphabetical, and every time stops at a particularly larger folder that starts with a D (which had considerably more folders than many others)

The only solution I have come up with is copying/uploading the local folders to his IMAP email, but not all emails are being uploaded either. However, has been more successful than the other migration method, but this has to be done a single folder at a time and not all contents of folder are transferred...

Is there some type of script or other way to migrate these local folders?

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks

So far I used MS Outlook for Calendar and Contacts as well beside to mail. How can I import Those data from Outlook and synchronise with my Samsung A53 mobile (Samsung calendar and contacts) without using MS cloud?

Hi everyone - and big thanks in advance for considering my request: I have/ had windows 11 on my old machine and windows 11 on my new machine; because my 'old computer' is not running anymore at all (liquid damage), I can no longer start Thunderbird and follow the 'export tool function' (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-export) and thus can only do the manual transfer (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer); I didn't think that I would need to go through the export tool steps when I saved the Thunderbird profile folder regularly as backup on the cloud; yet when I started Thunderbird on my new machine following the above steps by moving the Thunderbird profile folder manually, the result is that - although Thunderbird is 'running' and the mailbox is functioning properly - the key folders are empty (i.e. the sub-folder structure is completely lost, in fact there are no individual emails at all); the issue seems to be that the size of the Thunderbird profile folder is too large (the "Profiles" folder has a size of 20.5 GB) for doing this transfer via copy & paste of the Thunderbird profile folder from the cloud (I also tried USB) to the new machine; I understand that the size issue via the manual transfer could be 'overcome' just by starting Thunderbird on the 'old machine' and following the above steps explained under mozilla support; yet that's no longer an option; what could I do please?
