Change to Thunderbird has imported mails from my old inbox, and two of it's sub_folders. My old system has 14 sub_folders, some, a lot bigger than the two it chose.
Subject really says it all. I'd like to import ALL of my subfolders. The two it has chosen are small and rarely used. How do I import the rest.

Try coping the entire old profile folder from the old PC to a new PC if that's where your importing from. Is that the context?
Was this a POP or IMAP account? How did you create the backup for the import? Knowing that may prove useful. Thank you.
Chris: It is the same PC. I wanted to change my mail program because the one I had started logging me out after 2 hours inactivity. This irritated me enough to try something else. David: I don't know. I did not make the backup, the old program is still running. When Thunderbird completed installing, it had grabbed my inbox and two of my folders.
If the old program is still running, you cannot import and get everything. If this is windows, your best best is to copy (not import) with windows file explorer, as it preserves passwords when possible.
I have closed the window with the old program, (it is "part" of my domain), I can re-install, the starter package is still on the downloads list, or I can try what you've said, but copy what from where to where?
- old profile is at c:\users\<yourid>\appdata\roaming\thunderbird - copy that to external media - install thunderbird on new pc and then exit - copy the thunderbird folder from external media to c:\users\<yourid>\appdata\roaming to overwrite the default setup - restart thunderbird
