Thunderbird e-mails move

Can Thunderbird emails be 'moved'/transfered?

I have a load of mails (sitting in the inbox of TB) on old HD

I want to move these to a new (Thunderbird inbox) HD.

I can't work out how to do it? Anyone know

Mucho appreciated if you have a solution

This help ... http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbir...Qs_:_Migration ... ? There is a Thunderbird section further down with more links. I don't have TB installed or I could help more ...

I would recommend moving the whole of the old TB data first.

Make a zipped backup of your old TB data then read this,

If you dont know where or how to backup the data then there is info on the same page to backup first here,

I did it myself going to a new pc and it works fine.

mozbackup is a fantastic bit of software.....which allows for the COMPLETE backing up of Mozilla profiles - Thunderbird and Firefox.

I use it all the time for backing up my work e-mail, or for when I get a new desktop and need to migrate it!

Any help?
