How can I transfer the contents of Local Folders in Thunderbird from one computer to another, if both computers are already running Thunderbird?
On my old (Win XP) computer I had saved hundreds of messages in Local Folders.
I got a new Windows 8.1 computer a few months ago. I installed Thunderbird and have been using it ever since. But I would like to copy the contents of the Local Folders from the old to the new computer.
Is there a way to transfer them on a memory stick and get them loaded into Thunderbird on the new computer?

Thank you sfhowes. Your instructions were clear and I was successful in moving the messages.

You would have to close Thunderbird in the destination computer. You cannot edit or change profile files while the application is running.
I don't understand the answer. How can I transfer the messages to Thunderbird in the destination computer if the application is not running?
