Moving away from Fossamail

This will work, right? Just copy the profiles... right?

I honestly am not sure. I am considering implementing a more proper way to import mail from Fossamail, so if you want to wait for that, that might be preferable.

I do know other people have done it successfully, but others have run into issues depending on what extensions they use. That's very much an "at your own risk" kind of thing, and may or may not work out for you. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but that's where we are right now.

FossaMail profiles -should- migrate forward without any issue. One thing you may want to do is remove a master password if you're using it before trying to migrate, then reinstate afterwards.

My wife's work notebook I had to finally reinstall was the guinea pig (I had backup ).
Worked like a charm - but then again I don't use any extensions and didn't even know they were a thing, lol.

Glad to hear it!

Yeah, that is where the problems usually come in. My experience is that usually if people have kept things very "stock," there are fewer issues, and it's when they've decked everything out with extensions and themes that things get more complicated.

Off-topic:
That was probably a justification Mozilla used to strip all customizatibility/extensibility from Firefox
