I have Thunderbird on two old computer and I would like to import the old emails to my new computer. The emails are no longer available on my providers servers and the only copies of these emails are on my harddrive in thunderbird.

I have copied the folder that contains the emails to a thumb drive and have installed thunderbird on the new comptuer.

I can't find an import function to bring the old emails into the new computer.

thanks sheryl
