Pale Moon forum

Hi everybody. Last Saturday I posted a request for help in transferring my Fossamail folders from my old PC to a new one. To date there have been 132 views but not a single reply.
Does this mean that it is not possible? Any help would be most appreciated.

Copy the profile from the old machine to the new; look up instructions for Thunderbird as that might yield more results and the steps will be almot the exact same.

I already tried that. All my missing folders seem to be located in C:Users\xxx\appdata\roaming\Fossamail, but seem not to be transferred to the Fossamail program. I have tried a clean install but the only data which shows in Fossamail are Inbox, Sent trash and Contacts, but not the mail folders.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Regards Brian

Post your profiles.ini

Hi. I am not sure if I have done this correctly. I am something of a novice. If not correct please tell me the right way.

I meant the file profiles.ini, located in C:Users\xxx\appdata\roaming\Fossamail
Post that file.

Sorry, I must be stupid but my Fossamail profiles is some 450mb, and does not seem to have an .ini file in it. When I try to copy the whole profiles file to this post I get the same result as last time. What am I doing wrong?
Brian

Navigate to c:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\FossaMail\
In that folder there should be a file named profiles.ini

It´s a small textfile, my profiles.ini is only 123 bytes...

Open the file, copy the content, and post it here.

Is this what you mean?

(General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/gaaimxmj.default

Brian

YES.

Do you have a folder named gaaimxmj.default ?
Is that your FossaMail-folder ?

Yes it is thanks
