My profile has the same name on the Windows computer as on the Mac. I tried copying the profile from Windows to Mac, but the Mac Thunderbird didn't read it and wanted me to set up my accounts from scratch. I re-installed my T-bird backup of the profile and it works fine now, but the email folders are still missing.

Further info. On my MacBookAir all my mailboxes and folders are there?? However, the default profile has another name on the Air. It's a bit of a mystery to me .....?!?!?!? Can I copy the Air profile over to the Mac? Or just the contents of the Air profile?
