How do I merge TB data from a dead Win 7 computer to a new Win 8.1 computer with TB installed?? The old HD is good and old files are available.

My old Win 7 computer died. I bought a new win 8.1 computer. I pulled the HD from the old computer and put it in a SATA/USB case. Everything is there. I installed T-Bird on the new computer and downloaded current e-mail. Now I want to merge the thousands of old e-mails that were on the old computer onto the new computer? What steps should I take? If necessary, I could live with losing the new e-mails that are now on the new computer.

But first save your new inbox, just make a copy outside your profile of "profile" \mail\"mailaccount"\INBOX (pop-account) or "profile" \Imapmail\"mailaccount"\INBOX (IMAP-account)

You can then import or move it to your local folders. (under a new name)
