Moving Thunderbird Data from old computer to new computer

Following instructions on how to move Thunderbird from old computer to new computer. I have copied from roaming Thunderbird folder to SanDisk but when it is 99% complete I get message saying "Are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties?" It gives me the options of Yes, Skip or Cancel. What do I do?

Some background When I installed Thunderbird on my new computer I got all my emails but not any of my calendar data or my Local folders. I am most interested on how I can get the calendar data and local folders on my new computer. Thank you

My computer crashed two years ago. I've tried to reinstall Thunderbird numerous times, but it asks me for passwords (What passwords is looking for?) Then I get "I have an account". (Which I have NO CLUE how to open.) Could you send me the necessary information so I can Load a Clean Thunderbird, with a NEW ACCOUNT? Please Delete my old account, that might help. [edited] @ameritech.net. It would be a great benefit if I could talk to someone dirrectly as I'm setting Thunderbird up.
