There are instructions on their web site on how to "migrate" from one version to another that should cover from one

That's true. I do it a few times a year. When traveling, I move from desktop to
netbook+, then back when we return.
The simplest way is to copy the full directory and subdirectories.
Copy:
C:\Users\[username_a]\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxxx.default\Mail\
to:
_x_:\Users\[username_b]\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\yyyyyyy.default\Mail\
where:
yyyyyyy.default is the name of the default profile on the second computer. When you install Thunderbird, it creates a
mail directory, [random name].default
The simplest way is to copy the 'real' data from computer A as the same name already used by computer B. It's possible
to copy A's directory as it's name on A and rename the one on B so it isn't yyy.default, so there is only one file with
the "default" extension. I've had that work, I believe.
I have been happily using SyncBack in Sync mode to keep the two computers synced. It's worked well for years, as long as
I only use TBird on one, then sync before using it on the other, and so on.
