Importing From previous versions to the new Thunderbird.

[Coriniumweb]

I installed the new Beta Thunderbird, and realized it had to be set up from scratch. I imported my many email accounts from the old version, and to my horror found that the account passwords were not brought over. This is vital, as it takes for ever to enter the passwords with 2FA for each account. Please add this to the new version.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

I also tried to import from my email, setting, etc from the current version and it failed to import at all.
