Outlook 2007 has become very flaky as regards rules for sorting incoming email into folders, and Windows 10 had made it worse. I am considering switching to Thunderbird but want access to all my old emails. How do I import my email, address book, calendar, etc. (maybe not rules, i can reestablish those as things come in)? My computer is an HP Pavilion, 64-bit, recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10, 7G RAM.

Import from Outlook is broken in Thunderbird 38. You will need to use Thunderbird 31 to do the import. Get it from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/31.8.0/win32/en-US/ Once the import is done update again to the latest version via the built-in update mechanism.
