how do I pull archived email and current inbox items from Thunderbird
Windows 10 fragged my hard drive. The only way to access the drive is to load it in another machine as secondary drive. I have the files and folders pulled but I can't access Thunderbird. Is there a way to access the archive folders to get the archived messages and can I get the current contents of the Inbox?

locate the appdata\remote\Thunderbird folder on your old drive. (note appdata is located by windows based on your user name)
copy that to the same appdata location on your new computer with Thunderbird not running.
Start Thunderbird and you will have everything just as you left it.
Matt: No sub-folder named remote but there is a roaming sub-folder. Would that be the same?
Matt: It is one and the same. Worked like a charm. Thanks for your time and expertise.
