<blockquote>
Thunderbird stores all of your information in profiles. It is possible
to move profiles between computers, and operating systems. This is an ideal
candidate for configsync (so all calendar colours match khal, for example).
== Deleting Profiles ==
<blockquote>
On windows, you can delete your thunderbird settings by deleting the following folder.
Note that removing individual components does not seem to work.
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
C:\Users\will\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird
~/.thunderbird/
</syntaxhighlight>
</blockquote><!-- Deleting Profiles -->
== TimeZones ==
<blockquote>
Thunderbird does not detect your system timezone.
<syntaxhighlight lang="yaml">
- Rclick menubar > Check MenuBar
- Edit > Preferences > Calendar:
  TimeZone: America/Toronto

So far, I have not been able to delete one of these calendars if it has not
synchronized yet. The only way I have managed to do so successfully is deleting
the entire profile.
