I'm sorry if this topic has already been answered.....and I know it has.....but I have been reading and trying things for almost 3 hours.....I need help!!! I have at work the Thunderbird eMail that goes through a different server. I followed the directions and copied the "Moving Thunderbird Data to a New Computer" to a flash drive. I used that and have all the files that were on it, now on my at home computer. It appears that everything is good up to that point. I even get the window that shows that Thunderbird recognized my other server's setup, however when I choose "OK" it gives me an error message that it is already on the server. I can see the Thunderbird email system on my home computer. But I can't get it to show any of the emails that I know are there from my work computer and I can't get it to download. I'm not sure if I have been clear enough, but I hope either someone can help me with what I have provided--or provide me with directions on how to do the install--EASY directions--because I'm unable to follow what I have found so far. And a reminder--I do still have all the files that I copied to the flash drive--so I could start all over again, and it would not be a problem. THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!!!
