I had Thunderbird installed on my old computer which died. Its hard drive is fine so I can connect it to my new computer via USB. I would like to install Thunderbird on my new computer recovering the Thunderbird data from my old hard drive. I would like to include profiles, old email, and settings.

How can I do this?

Thank you so much for any help.

I will assume a WIndows computer, since you didn't say. The old profile is at <root>users\<yourID>\appdata\roaming\thunderbird copy that to your USB. Then install thunderbird on new PC . Close Thunderbird, and copy to the exact same place (although userid may be different). If you can do that, when you restart thunderbird, everything will be in place.
