Is there a way to use this as a drop in replacement easily? Like maybe move my Thunderbird profile folder into a Bettterbord folder, or maybe an automatic import option?

This looks promising but I don’t really want to set up my email accounts and settings from scratch.

As per the FAQ they seem to share the exact same profile so you can seamlessly switch between them (provided both are the same dot release).

Edit: in case that doesn’t work, run betterbird -p and select the right profile. For me it chose the wrong one.

I just gave it a try and it does not pick up my existing Thunderbird data automatically, or prompt to import it.

The instructions change if you’re using flatpak. I was only able to get it to work with a manual import

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
