Moving Thunderbird Profiles from Ubuntu to MacOS?

I’m trying to sync my Thunderbird files between my Ubuntu workstation and my MacBook.

From Ubuntu to Ubuntu it’s really easy. We can just rsync the ~/.thunderbird between the two machines.

I noticed that on MacOS, when I just setup Thunderbird initially, it places the *.default files in the Profiles directory.

So I tried moving the *.default and *.default-release files to this ~/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles directory however Thunderbird did not load the mail?

Any ideas on how to perform this migration?
