Copying the abook.mab directly into the new mail directory works ok.
[but the rest is dir structure problematic]
I'll add to this if there are any other "Import" connundrums usefully
documented.
Hi from my first post off Thunderbird on an upgrade to Ubuntu6.06, for
my main desktop / archival machine.
As stated above, 'the trick to this (migration from Mozilla on a now
redundant partition)':
a) have your ~/.mozilla folder completely copied into place first,
before running Thunderbird for the first time. Contents & settings get
picked up automagically that way when you first start Thunderbird.
b) if that step has gone wrong, you can redo it only by running
/usr/bin/mozilla-thunderbird -P [--profilemanager] and deleting any
profiles listed in that GUI (usually just 'default'). Next run of
Thunderbird is then as a).
