Hello, I have the following issue - I am moving to a new computer and want to move my emails with me. My Thunderbird on my old computer is configured to a POP3 server, and I have stored my emails on disk D, while Thunderbird is installed on disk C. I have transfered both my accounts folder (as described by Thunderbird help) and also transfered my emails folder. The moment I open Thunderbird on the new Computer it renames all my emails subfolders and when opening a mail it says the "file not found" on every email I had.

Please help?

Kind Regards, Alexander

Use mailstore free application. First archive the emails from a system folder. Then export them in your thunderbird profile. Restart thunderbird and you will see a folder named maidstone containing your old emails. Finally move them to the desired folder in local folder or proceed to archive.

Thank you for the answer, but it is still not working :( Is it possible it is because the versions of the Thunderbird are different?
