My user profile of my computer has been corrupted. I have had to create a new username and am currently copying all my files from the c drive of my old user profile to my new user profile. When I open mozilla thunderbird, it doesn't recognize that I have ever used it before and asks if i'd like to create a new email address. What I'd like to do is get my inbox and all folders that I had created and was using on my corrupted user profile and move them to the new user profile. Is this possible and if so, how do i do it?
