bold textCan I merge 2 mail files together. I mean in TB profiles there is a mail folder. Can I merge that with another one and not blow up the machine? Actually there are 3 mail folders so I mean the latest one by date?

yes, you can do that, but it takes several steps. Here is a suggested approach:

  1. first, install the addon named importexporttools.
  2. assuming you want to merge folderB and folderC into folderA, here are suggested steps:
    • highlight folderB, rightclick and select importexporttools option to export eml and do that to a non-thunderbird folder (folderX)
    • repeat the process for folderC
    • you now have messages from folders B and C in external folderX in Windows
    • now, click folderA and rightclick and select importexport option to import eml and locate and select the Windows folderX.
    • you now have all messages in folderA. After verifying, you may now delete folders B, C, and X.
