how to move T-Bird folders to a different email account
Hello All!
Here's the question: what is the best process for moving all my T-Bird folders (and all the emails in them) to a different email account?
I've also posted below why I think I need to do this...if you can help me with the domain transfer issue then I don't need to move everything in T-Bird to a different email account.
thanks so much! :-)

ps here's why: I've had my email on domain X for a couple decades, but I think the ISP where it is registered went out of business as I can not login, nor get any support from them. I've tried moving domain X to a different ISP, but they tell me it is impossible without me being able to login to the old ISP to get the code to authorize the transfer. Hope that makes sense? The best work-around I can think of is moving all my folders and emails to a new email account on a different domain...hence the question above on how to move stuff in T-Bird.
And a huge THANK YOU to everyone for reading this!

Just a curiosity question, what is the domain name. The "registrar" is rarely the tiny business that sold us the domain years ago. You might do ok contacting the registrar of record.. Hence the request for the domain name.
Personally I am against using Thunderbird as a transfer agent for moving mass mail from account to account. The product is getting better at it, but it is not good and data loss is common.
I actually wanted to query and research the domain name.
However enom is tucows. They have been in the business as long as I can remember4 registering stuff on the internet and they are still around. The folk you were dealing with would have been a reseller so enom should be able to help you with your domain issues, I am sure they would not be the first rseller to close up shop. Including transfer. That is not going to help you with importing your historic email to a mail server. But there are hosting services that do offer that as a part of your package.
OK thanks I will reach out to tucows and hope they get back to me...anyone have ideas on moving a couple decades of emails to a new domain? Or is that impossible?
thx!
Alternative option if you really cannot get emails moved from one server to another.
Get all emails into the 'Local Folders' account.
Use Addon 'ImportExportTools NG'
How to install addon:
Right click on 'Local Folders' account Or a folder specially created to receive folder and emails in that account Select 'ImportExportTools NG > Import mbox files > All mbox files from directory with sdb structure.
A window opens - navigate to the profile name folder > ImapMail > account folder which contain those files - select mail account folder. Click on 'Select 'Folder'.
