Transfer to new replacement pc
I have installed T'bird in a new replacement pc and also added my two accounts. However, I now need to include my many Local Folders using Profile Folder information from the old pc.
Should I delete all the account information I have installed in my new pc T'bird prior to installing the Profile Folder copy? Thanks Ron

Here are steps:
- on old PC, locate profile and copy the cotents of the Mail\Local Folders folder to USB stick. To locate the profile, start thunderbird, click help>troubleshootinginformation, scroll to 'profile folder' and click 'open folder', and then exit thunderbird
- you are now in profile and the Mail folder should be visible. click to Local Folders and copy all.
- on new PC, repeat the same steps to locate profile and exit TB, and copy the USB contents to Mail\Local Folders and restart TB.

Thanks David ... that worked. I messed up a few times and then found that it was best for me to start from scratch by completely deleting Thunderbird (and other files it has)and then doing a complete reinstall. Excellent advice! Ron
