Hi Trying to move all my stuff in TB from a Win7 to a new Win10 PC. First tried replacing contents of the profile folder as suggested in many places. Couldn't see anything. (Also removed Lightning app which someone mentioned as a solution). Reinstalled TB and set up my 2 email accounts and then just copied contents of Mail folder. Now I can see mails saved in local folders but not the ones in the current inboxes or sent boxes. How to solve this please? Also, how to avoid downloading all mails on the server again?

Thanks

Update: When I added my accounts, TB created new folders for them. Solved the problem by simply copying and pasting contents of my old sub-folders to the new ones. All restored.

Now I just have the problem of preventing re-download of all mails. Will check elsewhere about this.
