On some Computer My Thunderbird Profile is Stil the same as from the first Version of Thunderbird from 2006. It carry a lot of strange Files and is way bigger in size then a new Profile.
Please develop a full migration of the Thunderbird Profil into a new Profile.
Beside my I'm also Family admin of several PC with Thunderbird. Most of their Profile has the same age like my profile. It would be nice If I could migrate these Profile as easy as possible. I do not wish to setup mail clients new and may forget settings or addons.
I suggest following behavior.
- User do start a Profil migration
- Thunderbird request some basics
- [x] Automatic cleanup - nothing get lost you currently use.
- [ ] Custom cleanup - remove some data you currently us but do not need anymore.
- Some requests If custom cleanup is active -> list of add-ons, experimental settings, remove password list, etc.
- Create a new Profile
- Install all currently active add-ons
- migrate all settings of Thunderbird
- Migrate accounts and also their mail filter rules
- Settings of migrated add-ons.
- perform a Thunderbird start and migrate requested Passwords.
- If every thing is successful and the next Thunderbird start was successfully to, tar.xz the old Profile.
