I had problems several months ago trying to migrate from v 68.11 to 78.1. All my folders and address books were not migrated. I was told to wait for a future releases. Now I'm on 68.12. Do you know if migration 78.5.1 takes care of existing address books and local folders? Thanks, Yuri

Hi Matt. I upgraded my second pc going from 68 to 78.5.1. It looks like they added migration of local folders and address books. I didn't ask anybody to do the testing for me, but I thought that somebody would just give me a definite answer on whether these problems were solved. Last time I spent several hours trying to restore everything back to v68. I appreciate you helping Thunderbird community, but your answer was a little bit testy ... Relax and stay healthy ...

Duplicate of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1297169 and really https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1302588 Stans told you he believed the issue resolved. I am certainly not going to bother to check that. Perhaps you need to.
