Transfering Thunderbird folder

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi,

Thunderbird creates a new folder but you can still use another one. Just 
start it like this:

thunderbird -P --allow--downgrade

and select the profile you want.

Before doing that, put the profiles you want in ~/.thunderbird

For instance my profiles are in:

/home/didier/.thunderbird

Cheers,
Didier
