I'm trying to migrate Thunderbird emails from a Vista laptop to a new Win 10 laptop. I have tried moving the Thunderbird/Profile folder following the instructions in "Moving Thunderbird Data to a New Computer" several times, and I think I'm getting the right folder(s) in the right place on the new computer, but when I start Thunderbird, the 'old' emails don't show up. Any help would be greatly appreiated.
