I upgraded from 12.4 to 16.4 mate. Thunderbird works fine with 12.4. I followed the instructions found in other forums and on the Mozzilla website about how to transfer your emails to another computer. I did this before from 10.4 to 12.4 and it worked fine.
This time however the emails are not transferring. All the email accounts are listed but there are no folders or emails. I have tried it several times in case I made a mistake.
I tried:
1) Copying the files inside my 12.4 profile into a newly created 16.4 profile.
2) Copying my old profile into the ".thunderbird" folder.
3) Booting to and zipping the entire 12.4 ".thunderbird" folder and then booting to 16.4 and unzipping the ".thunderbird" directory.
Same results, accounts listed in the left side folder pane but no emails. The accounts are listed in the accounts section.
I am multi-booting so I know the emails are there.
Thunderbird: 38.7.2

Thank you
It has been a long time since I have been here.
