Importing emails (Thunderbird to Thunderbird) from and old computer

Thunderbird Import and export email
wxie replied

My wife has a computer that hasn't been used for about 7 years and it contains a lot of emails that she would like to have on her newer computer.

The older computer has an older version of Thunderbird which doesn't allow the Importexport ng extension to be added.

Although I've copied her old profile, I can't see how to extract the emails from it into the newer version of Thunderbird on the newer computer. Is it possible and if so, how please.

Thanks.

What's the version of the old Thunderbird? Maybe you can install that old version on your new computer and gradually update to the newest version. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/upgrading-older-version-thunderbird

And then you can migrate the profile: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-import
