Is there a way to use this as a drop in replacement easily? Like maybe move my Thunderbird profile folder into a Bettterbord folder, or maybe an automatic import option?
This looks promising but I don’t really want to set up my email accounts and settings from scratch.
for TB -> TB-flatpack simply pasting from ~/.thunderbird/ to
~/.var/app/org.mozilla.Thunderbird/.thunderbird/
did work for me. I might try betterbird sometime.

As per the FAQ they seem to share the exact same profile so you can seamlessly switch between them (provided both are the same dot release)
I just gave it a try and it does not pick up my existing Thunderbird data automatically, or prompt to import it.
The instructions change if you’re using flatpak. I was only able to get it to work with a manual import
