Hey all,
CentOS 6 has Thunderbird 68.8.0 CentOS 8 has Thunderbird 68.7.0
When I rsync my .thunderbird folder from my CentOS 6 machine to my CentOS 8 machine and start Thunderbird it says:
"A newer version of Thunderbird may have made changes to your profile which are no longer compatible with this older version. Use this profile only with that newer version, or create a new profile for this installation of Thunderbird. Creating a new profile requires setting up your accounts, calendars and add-ons again."
Needless to say, this is not an acceptable choice. I have several email accounts that would have to be set up. That's not such a big issue, but I have many local folders set up that I can't duplicate on the new installation if I can't use my previous profile.
Does anyone know when CentOS 8 will catch up with CentOS 6 so that I can start using my new CentOS 8 box?
Perhaps there is another work around. I've tried many of the solution provided on the mozilla web site to no avail. I even tried to install Thunderbird 68.8.0 on my CentOS 8 box. That didn't make it happy either.
What now brown cow?
