Need to transfer entire e-mail accoints, folders, address books from old laptop to new laptop.

I have a new windows laptop. I run thunderbird e-mail. I have about 13 e-mail accounts and numerous folders and a few address books and groups.

I need to transfer it entirely to the new laptop.

Where do I go on the old computer to copy files to a drive then go to new laptop and paste files to seamlessly accomplish this move?

I have attached 2 pics showing the accounts and beginning of the folders I have.

How do I copy/move/transfer everything?

Here's an article about how to do just that, transfer you Thunderbird Profile from one computer to another. This will replicate the setup from the old computer on the new.
