How Do I Merge Emails From Different Profiles?
Hello:
Over the years I've created different profiles on a number of different laptops/desktops.
I've saved all the email into my local folders, and under the locals folder in each profile I created the same exact folders/sub folders each time.
And so, for instance, every profile that I've created has a local folder, and under the local folder in each profile I have a sub-folder called "Shopping", and in the sub-folder "Shopping" I have additional nested folders that are called Amazon, Walgreens, Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart etc.
Well I'm getting a new laptop tomorrow, and once again I'll be creating a new profile.
In the new profile I'll be able to bring the local folders/sub-folders/nested folders from my last profile into the new profile that I will have created, but have no idea how to gather up all of the emails that I saved from all of the old profiles.
I'm thinking that if I attempt to gather them all together, I won't be able to because all of those older emails are saved to the exact same sub-folders/nested folders that will exist once I bring them into the newest profile that I created.
I figure that I might get a message from Thunderbird telling me that I can't bring those older sub-folders and nested folders into the account because at that point they already exist.
So is there a way to recover all of those older emails that I have saved WITHOUT having to use the local folder/sub-folder/nested folder method? Just be able to retrieve all the old emails and sort everything out later on?
Thank you in advance if you choose to respond to my post.

Turn on Account Linking Start in the account that will become the primary account. In the top right corner of the browser, select the "Settings" icon. Under “Quick Settings” select "See all settings" Select the fourth tab from the left, titled "Accounts" In the "Send mail as:" section, select “Add another email address”
