Transferring Thunderbird/old emails to a new computer
Hello,
I have a new computer set up and I have Thunderbird on an old computer with old emails that we no longer use. I'd like to set Thunderbird up on a new computer and transfer all of the old emails to the new computer so old emails can still be checked.
Can you please show me how to do so and how to migrate this old data and set up Thunderbird on a new device?
Thanks, Tyler

Sure. On old PC, - be sure TB is not running - copy c:\users\<yourid>\appdata\roaming\thunderbird to a USB stick - on new PC.
- be sure TB is not running, but it needs to at least be installed. - copy the folder on USB stick to c:\users\<yourid>\appdata\roaming\thunderbird. It will prompt for overwrites. Allow to happen.
- start TB and all should be there.
If you do not see the appdata folder in Windows FIle Explorer, click View>Show>file name extensions and view>show>hidden items
