Sometimes, you may need to move Thunderbird from one PC to another especially when you get a new computer. But how can you transfer Thunderbird to a new computer while keeping all your data on the source computer? Actually, it's really a challenging task for most users. Why?
Why is it difficult to transfer Thunderbird data to a new computer
Unlike Outlook, Thunderbird store all your data like emails, contacts, appointments, calendars, address books, settings, saved passwords, add-ons, etc in a "profile" directory instead of in the program directory. In this case, you are not allowed to export your email and settings in Thunderbird. So, if you want to transfer Thunderbird to a new computer, you need to manually copy your profile folder over to the new PC. Actually, it's really a complicated job that will take a long time and much efforts.
