Hello Barry,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with the .thuderbird 
directory in Thunderbird.  You made this bug report in 2016 and there have been 
several versions of Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then. 

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the 
ticket? 
If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to 
this bug? 
If you are, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect BUGNUMBER
and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this 
particular issue. 

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better. 
G

Title:
  this version does not use an older .thunderbird directory

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  It was normal to set up a new installation by copying the .thunderbird
  directory from the previous installation.  This new version requires
  each email account to be re-installed.  As I have seven imap accounts,
  it is really annoying.  I expect I'll move over to a different client.
