I have just bought a new computer and have downloaded Thunderbird for my emails. I have 3 email accounts. I have lost my passwords for these accounts. When I look on my old computer in Thunderbird I go to password manager and there are no saved passwords for me to get. It's like I have to set up thunderbird all over again. I transferred from the old thunderbird to the new one and nothing happened. I AM A NOVICE AT THIS. No accounts etc etc no passwords. I am desperate. Yes I used an external drive to put the thunderbird stuff on the new computer,

PLEASE HELP

It may help to know how you copied thunderbird data to external drive, and it also may help to know if old computer is still available. Generally, if you copied the profile, the accounts will be there for you, but you mentioned the accounts themselves are missing. My hope is the old computer is still available. Please tell me more.
