Transfer all data including mailbox file names and all data from W 8.1 to W 11
Hi Thanks for providing this service. i have set up TB on new computer. i have followed the guide to transfer profile and local folder to new computer. I was expecting all the mailbox folders that I have saved emails etc. would have been transferred during that process. Please help with a step by step process to transfer these folders. Thank you john

here is how i do it: - exit thunderbird on old PC - copy c:\users\<yourid>\appdata\roaming\thunderbird to external media (this assumes you use default installation) - on new PC, install thunderbird and exit - copy the backed-up thunderbird folder to c:\users\<yourid>\appdata\roaming to overwrite the existing thunderbird folder - start thunderbird
Thanks David got it sorted. There were a variety of confusing suggestions that I got lost in. variations of the normal procedures to transfer. But this simple process worked , and i learned something. Maybe your in the top 5 now. Thanks heaps. John
