How can I keep the way my folders, their contents and organisation when changing the email adress of my account ?
Hi, Thanks to those who may reply.
I'm a french user with basic skills. I'm using Thunderbird with an email adress #1. I have to move to an email adress #2 for work. I might or might not continue to use email adress #1 but my main adress will be 2. I've organised my folders the way needed by my professionnal activities. I'd like to keep this organisation/architecture to continue classify my emails as I did. Is there a way to do that ? In other words, I'd like to use a new email adress but keep everything else in Thunderbird as it was. Thanks for your help.

You can add other accounts to TB and have them all working in the same profile, with the same address books, calendars, add-ons etc., but I don't think it's possible to transfer the organization or folder structure except manually. You can copy filters between accounts, but you would have to recreate the folders if they are used by the filters. That should not be too difficult if the two accounts are displayed in one profile.
