Yes, the profile is not stored in the same way.

or have an 'import wizard' (cp ~/.purple ~/.Instantbird) at first run?


We plan to create an import wizard but really, it's not only a 'cp' ;-).

  I downloaded and installed Instantbird, and I am impressed for a 0.1 app.

Before we release a 1.0 version, we don't expect it to have as many features
as pidgin does.
When it will be ready, the advantages should be: simpler, more extensible
(easily extensible), works on the 3 common OSes.
