I am trying to combine the information from my laptop version of Icedove
into the icedove copy on my home PC.
Inside Icedove, I keep my e-mail messages in local folders named after
my username and year (for backup and archiving purposes):
dpchrist-2011
dpchrist-2012
dpchrist-2013
etc.
Using a file manager or shell and looking around under ~/.icedove, I
see one folder and two files with matching basenames:
$ ls -d .icedove/yopoi36c.default/Mail/Local\ Folders/dpchrist*
.icedove/yopoi36c.default/Mail/Local Folders/dpchrist-2013
.icedove/yopoi36c.default/Mail/Local Folders/dpchrist-2013.msf
.icedove/yopoi36c.default/Mail/Local Folders/dpchrist-2013.sbd
<snip>
In this case, "yopoi36c.default" is my active Icedove profile directory.
I've found that if I simply copy those folders and files to another
machine and start Icedove, the corresponding Icedove folders will
automagically appear, Icedove will index the contents, and everything
works.
Thankfully, the Icedove developers understand and do a good job with
data forward/ backward compatibility/ migration. :-)

Hi David
Unfortunately, I have two of the .default directories that need to be
combined into one. I thought that the Import/Export tools would do this
but the instructions I can find have me thoroughly confused. A web
search turned up all kinds of methods to sync various packages but not
this case. I can't believe that there is not a straight forward way to
do this since the problem will arise any time one takes a laptop on the
road.
