How can I transfer the mailboxes from more than one user account to Thunderbird?

I've recently transferred my email to Thunderbird, having previously used Outlook Express (which I still have installed, but don't use). On OE I had two user identities, each with its own set of mailboxes, sub-mailboxes and address book. Thunderbird has copied across both identities, creating a new set of mailboxes for each, and has also copied both address books (and amalgamated them), but has only copied one of the old sets of mailboxes. Is there a way I can get it to copy the others? I noticed some reference to a limit on the number of messages - I did have rather a lot in the OE account from which it hasn't copied the messages! Could that be the problem?

have you heard about Thunderbird profiles? A profile change requires a restart unlike OE and it's change of identities. But multiple profiles is basically functionally identical to the OE identify. Two completely separate set of accounts and address books. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_manager

There is also an add-on https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/index-en.html#profname which make a menu entry to allow you to set te profile to be opened next time Thunderbird starts.

I am guessing crashing into the already existing outlook import folder made the mail an issue. So if you rename the outlook express import folder to something else the import may well go as planned.
