I want to move my 2 e_mail accounts (folders, old e_mails, address book, etc.) from Microsoft Outlook Express to TB on a new computer. Old PC runs Win XP (32 bit), new PC runs Win 7 (64 bit). I understand about setting up TB on the old PC first and I've done this. My OE has 2 accounts on it - mine & my wife's. TB automatically loaded all the data from my OE address but NOT from my wife's OE address. How do I load my wife's data into TB?

Somehow I recall something about Thunderbird will only import the information from the account set as default in Outlook Express.

Go into OE and set up your wife's mail account as default.

then retry.
