Moving only folders to new computer
I have a new computer that I have installed thunderbird on and have been using for a couple of weeks. I already migrated by address book over, but now need to just migrate my folders from my old computer. How do I only migrate folders and not my whole profile? I don't want to loose what I have on my new computer. I should mention I currently only have the folders in Thunderbird that are set up when you install the program. I have not made any new folders.

On the old computer: Help/Troubleshooting Info, Profile Folder, Open Folder, close TB, copy the mbox files - the large files with no extension, named after folders, in Mail/<popservername>, Mail/Local Folders, ImapMail/<imapservername>, and any of their .sbd subdirectories, to an external drive.
On the new computer: Help/Troubleshooting Info, Profile Folder, Open Folder, close TB, copy the mbox files from the old computer into Mail/Local Folders, renaming them if necessary. Restart TB and find the folders under Local Folders in the Folder Pane.
