I want to transfer my mail from an old Windows XP computer running Thunderbird 45.8.0 to a Windows 7 computer (Thunderbird not installed yet). The "How to transfer mail to a new computer" instructions are pretty clear (copy old Thunderbird folder to new computer), but do I have to do anything special regarding the old source files? Can I install the newest version of Thunderbird on Windows 7 and replace the folder with the old one, or do I have to install an old version of Thunderbird (45.8.0) first?
