So I copied the entire .mozilla-thunderbird folder from my gutsy install into the hardy one and now almost everything works, with the exception that when I try to attach an image or a file, it wants to look into the former ~/home folder of my former OS instead of the current one. I don't see a setting to change this. How do I do it?

Re: Thunderbird acts a little quirky after importing old profile
Go to Tools > about:config and search for these settings and change the values to /home/<youraccount>
browser.download.dir
mail.compose.attach.dir
messenger.save.dir
This should fix the old directory settings.
Edit: In about:config, you might also want to do a search for "directory" and scroll down to where the mail.server.server#.directory entries start and make sure they're set to your current account folder, so
"/home/<OLDaccount>/.mozilla-thunderbird/w3kkcuth.default/Mail/Local Folders"
would be changed to
"/home/<NEWaccount>/.mozilla-thunderbird/w3kkcuth.default/Mail/Local Folders"Keyboard not detected. Press F1 to continue... -

I don't understand. There's no about:config in the tools section of thunderbird.Comment

Re: Thunderbird acts a little quirky after importing old profile
I'm sorry, you'll have to install the about:config extension for Thunderbird. You can find it at http://aboutconfig.mozdev.org
