Hi there, My laptop is getting very slow and I am gonna give it one last chance and reinstall Windows 10. It looks like all unbundled software is going to be removed so I don't want to lose my 4 years worth of Thunderbird email. Is there a way of saving the settings and mail to do an easy reinstall? Many thanks.
