Get old emails from non-working Thunderbird

more options

BACKGROUND I updated my OS to Big Sur (mac). The Thunderbird app no longer worked. I downloaded and installed the newer version and it works fine. PROBLEM I need to migrate the emails from the old Thunderbird, which can not be launched, to the new Thunderbird. I can see the files from the old Thunderbird, so hopefully it will just be a question of moving the data over. Thanks, Will
