Chosen solution

1. Tools/Import, Import from a file, Import address books, sqlite format, select abook.sqlite or history.sqlite, or abook-1.sqlite, abook-2.sqlite... from the old profile.

2. Copy persdict.dat from the old profile.

3. Copy msgFilterRules.dat files from Mail/<popservername> and ImapMail/<imapservername> to similar folders in new profile.
