Hello, My boss did backups of a hard-drive which is now not working. since then he now has a new laptop and wants to import the email/data from the backup of Thunderbird to his new laptop.

i'm not sure exactly where on his backup hard drive it would of saved the thunderbird data, is there a quick way to find the files/folders?

also to restore the old data is a profile file and email files required?

the data is under the profile; unfortunately different systems store personal profiles in different places so there is no instant way. You can search the backup drive for a file named abook.mab (there are also files like extensions.rdf , impab.mab...) if there is only one place like that you have found the right directory. Then to import in another version of Thunderbird what is needed is often to simply copy the directory and change the profile to point to this directory. But if you want to import into another software this is altogether different (and a bit off-topic...)
