The problem with that is after he has migrated the mail and news, he
says it doesn't migrate the 12 customized tags to the 2nd profile.

Also, as I understand it, if he reads mail, tags mail, flags mail in
profile #1,  he wants it to be displayed in profile #2 already
downloaded, tagged, flagged, marked as read, etc.

I don't think that is even possible.

Why wouldn't it be? If both profiles are pointing to the same mail
folder, they should read the same content, including any tags. It
would only be a problem if both profiles were open at the same time,
competing to read/write the same files.


The custom tag bit flag would be in the shared mail folder, but the second profile would need copy the flag mnemonics recorded in the prefs.js

user_pref("mailnews.tags.$label5.tag", "Your custom flag");
user_pref("mailnews.tags.$label5.color", "#993399");
...


So provide the instructions on how two separate profiles can point to
the same mail folder. Richard thanks you.


In second profile Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings > selected account > Server Settings > Local Directory > Browse and browse to existing mail folder...
