I want to install Thunderbird on my new Windows 8 laptop and migrate email messages/folders and address book entries from OE Classic I have on my old Windows 7 laptop. Can I do that? How? Thanks!

OE does not run on Windows 7. So what product are you upgrading from. Thunderbird needs to be on the same machine as Outlook e3xpress to import anything. If you have it running in a virtual machine (XP Mode) then you will have to figure out how to get Thunderbird to run in the same virtual machine (I have no idea)
