Ive been using Thunderbird on an older Mac Book Pro (running 10.6.8) for a long time. Now I've purchased a newer Mac Bk Pro (running 10.10.5) and I need to migrate my old Tbird data (contacts, trash, sent etc...) to my new system. I just downloaded the newest version of Tbird and I see the import option at the top but when I go to the Tbird file from the old mac, it grey. What folder from my old mac do I need to have available on the new mac to import my old data? Thank you.

copy the ~thunderbird library folder and all it contains from the old machine to the new then start Thunderbird
