I have installed T'bird in a new replacement pc and also added my two accounts. However, I now need to include my many Local Folders using Profile Folder information from the old pc.

Should I delete all the account information I have installed in my new pc T'bird prior to installing the Profile Folder copy? Thanks Ron

Thanks David ... that worked. I messed up a few times and then found that it was best for me to start from scratch by completely deleting Thunderbird (and other files it has)and then doing a complete reinstall. Excellent advice! Ron
