I have been using one computer for a particular email account (computer 1) and another for a different email (computer 2). I use Thunderbird on each computer. I want to combine those email accounts on computer 1. I have created the second account for the email address on computer 2. Now, however, I want to copy all of the emails from computer 2 to computer 1 so they are all in one place. I used Mozilla Backup to backup the emails on computer 2. When I use the "restore" button I get a warning that this can overwrite existing emails. I want to make sure that I don't copy the emails from computer 2 over the existing emails and computer 1 but to make sure that the emails from computer 2 show up on the account from computer 2. I hope I made this clear.

What are you trying to achieve? Creating account 2 on computer 1 (including all mail) and use it in parallel to account 1, or Only transfer the mail of account 2 on computer 2 to account 1 on computer 1?

What is the account type of account 1 and 2 - POP or IMAP?

more options

I only wish to use computer 1 in the future so I just want to transfer the existing emails (inbox, sent, etc.) from computer 2 to computer 1. Both accounts are POP.

Install this add-on. https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/

With the add-on you can import individual mail files from computer 2 into their respective folders underneath account 1 on computer 1.

Note, mail files are the ones without a file extension, e.g. Inbox or Sent.

They are located in the Thunderbird profile. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird

Thanks christ1. Am I supposed to connect computer 1 and 2? It took awhile but I was able to install the addon. However when I went to the import line under tools and clicked the appropriate buttons I was then asked where to import from but my only options were Seamonkey2 or Outlook. Thunderbird was never an option. What do I need to do?

You need to use the new features that this addon provides. They will, IIRC, appear under Tools in the main menu.

Install the addon in both computers. On the first, use it to export the required folders or messages. Copy them to a USB memory stick.

On the second computer, insert the USB memory stick and import from there.

I do agree with Zenos' post, except that I don't see any point exporting something. ImportExport Tools can import mbox files directly. Thunderbird mail files are mbox files, so you'd only need to copy those onto a USB thumb drive.

Note, mbox files are the ones without a file extension, e.g. like Inbox or Sent.

I was thinking that exporting the required folders would be simpler than identifying their corresponding files in the old profile.

ImportExportTools allows us to refer to folders as seen in Thunderbird, whereas picking files out of the profile needs some knowledge about the structure of the profile.

Thanks to you and Zenos. It took a little trial and error but I finally have all of the files from computer 2 on computer 2 and the two email addresses are separate. I appreciate the help and patience from both of you.
