I'm converting from a Windows 10 computer to a new Windows 11 computer.

On the new computer, Thunderbird is installed and it's all set up and working.

On the old computer, in Thunderbird there is a folder ("named Keepers") where I have a bunch of emails that I want to keep.

Is there some way I can copy that folder over to Thunderbird on the new computer?

The easy way would be to install the addon, import-export, on both computers and use it to do that.

Well, not sure what you mean by "install the addon" but I just tried something and it worked.

I "forwarded" several of the saved emails to myself and then retrieved them in Thunderbird on the new computer and saved them into the Keepers folder there.
