Moving Thunderbird to a new computer
I have successfully transferred my Thunderbird Profile to a new computer using the article on the website. (Using the instructions in Thunderbird itself didn't work.) I now have my Address Book and Folders set up, but none of the emails from before I installed Thunderbird on the new computer. How can I get these back?

Here are the proper steps to transfer. Please review and compare to whatever you did. 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
