Unfortunately this has not worked for me.
Before I had also tried moving the whole ~/.thunderbird folder to
~/snap/thunderbird/common/ (which does essentially the same thing as
your rsync)
I just get the error message that you can see in the attached
screenshot.
When I move back the empty profile I get what you'd expect: An empty
profile with no settings etc.

With the migration from normal deb to snap all and any settings, addons,
