I installed Thunderbird on my new computer W/Windows 10 Lenovo. I still have Thunderbird on my other computer with messages already set up and filtered correctly. Is there a way for me to have these messages already filter on this new computer with out manually doing this again?

You could move your whole profile from the old computer to the new one. That would bring all your settings and filters, and your saved emails. Assuming you have not changed the way you connect to your email provider, everything should work as it did before. Here are instructions how to move your profile - Summary of the steps https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer and there is more detailed help on the mozilla.org site or here if you get stuck. Best wishes, Agnes
