New computer. TBird successfully installed and email working. However, my message filters did not migrate from old to new computer. How do I do this?

Dare I say it. New computer them move your old profile. I really have issues with folks setting up new accounts and then going oops no contacts. oops where are the filters.

You can move your msgFilterRules.dat files (one per account). but they may not work as they once did as the account types may not even be the same.
