Transferring Files to New PC
I purchased a new PC and had someone transfer the files from the old PC to the new one. Thunderbird came over with the exception of the sub folders that contain all of my saved emails by catagory. How can I get everything transferred to my new PC?

if the old PC is still available, this cam be easy: Here is the link for moving a profile in Windows when installed in default location:

here is the info in brief steps:
- ensure thunderbird is not running on old machine
- enter %appdata% in search window on task bar and press Enter key
- this should open windows file explorer in Appdata\roaming folder
- highlight the Thunderbird folder and copy to external media
- ensure thunderbird is installed on second computer and NOT running
- enter %appdata% in search window on task bar and press Enter key
- you should be in Appdata\roaming folder , copy&paste the exported Thunderbird folder there. This may prompt to overwrite an existing folder of same name. allow it
- start thunderbird and all should be there
