@Sebastien: Your new push fixed the issue. After the new snap was installed, I started Thunderbird and it immediately imported the original profile and started to download the emails from all IMAP accounts. The locally cached mail folders didn't get copied.
So far things seem to be working but I didn't have time yet for closer test beyond deleting a few emails. What was notable was to see that thunderbird spit out a number of errors on vcf cards while downloading the emails. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2056434 Title: Thunderbird profile not migrated to snap Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Today's update installed the thunderbird snap and removed the thunderbird binary but it did not migrate my thunderbird profile.
