My desktop PC video & audio died, so I installed the disk drive into a new PC as its 2nd drive. How can I copy my old TBird data from the 2nd drive to the 1st?
My old desktop PC video & audio died, so I installed the C drive into a new desktop PC as the 'F' drive. How can I copy my previous TBird email & addresses from the F drive to the new TBird location on the C drive? btw - I'm surprised that the fix for this common occurence isn't already in the on-line troubleshooting info.

According to the TBird website, the Emails & address book aren't stored in the Thunderbird folder, but rather in the 'profiles' folder. This seems to make sense to me, as there may be multiple users (a.k.a. profiles) on a PC, but they only need one code set per PC.
You were right, of course. The problem was that those are all hidden folders & files, & I hadn't yet enabled display of hidden items on my new PC. Once I did that, it all became clear. Thanks for your patience!
