You're welcome.
Can't answer regarding those URLs but your best bet to reduce chances of Thunderbird getting messed up would be to completely block Ccleaner from touching the Thunderbird profile. Too many folks have reported problems due to that clean up utility wiping out something that Thunderbird (or Firefox for that matter) needed to run properly.

Re: SOLVED Moving Tb profile to new computer
Thanks. For a long time I've had Firefox blocked/unchecked in CCleaner, but never thought about doing the same with Thunderbird. So, from now on, I'll leave it unchecked.

Re: SOLVED Moving Tb profile to new computer
Can somebody here PUH-LEEZE speak in non-Geek language? I'm trying to transfer my Tbird profile to a new laptop.
I've been using FF since around 2004, Tbird for at least ten years, and I've transferred both several times over numerous PCs/laptops. Now when I search I get different ways of doing it, and none of them are making sense to me. I'm not a complete dope, I've had Windows PCs since 1992 and have been online since 1994, and have built a handful of websites back in the days before WYSIWYG.
I did manage to transfer my FF profile this afternoon, but that was just by sheer luck as the directions didn't really correspond to what I was seeing.
