I am trying to follow the directions at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Thunderbird I have moved prefs.js, abook.mab and history.mab, persdict.dat I am now trying to move all my folders from MY mail to Local Folders preserving the tree, i.e., I would like to have the same names and arrangement of folders, sub-folders, and sub-sub folders. However when I put the cursor on Local Folders and click <tools> <importexporttools> <import all messages from a directory> is greyed out. I then created a folder called "target" and put the cursor on the folder it is not greyed out. However, I I do not know what is meant by "directory". Before there were PCs directory meant what is now called a folder, sub-folder, etc. Does it mean the "MAIL" folder or the "incoming.verizon.net" folder? I only use email from 1 ISP.
