Transfering Thunderbird folder

[Linux for blind general discussion]

You are welcome, glad if when I can be of some help.

Correction of my previous post: the command should be:

thunderbird -P --allow-downgrade

Please note that there are two "-" before "allow", but only one between
"allow" and "downgrade"
