I mounted a hard drive from my old (DEAD) computer. I tried to import my email files. I pointed Thunderbird to the folder containing all of the Outlook Express *.dbx files It shows no files and imports nothing.

I discovered after an hour that I could drag and drop my Dave.wab address book into the Windows Contacts file, where Win7 extracted the contacts. They could then be imported into Thunderbird.
