Thunderbird Import and export email

I bought a new computer and set up t-bird with a new install. Since I use IMAP, I assumed that all of my information would follow as I was just signing in as the same user. I seems that much of my old email stayed on the old computer. How can I get all of my old email information transfered to the new installation on the new computer? thanks

if the account is IMAP, then all the messages in the account will be there. If you had Local Folders data, that would need to be copied from the old profile. If I am misunderstanding, please provide more information.
