Transfer email

Robm1955

I have an email, on an old usb device, in Thunderbird portable. I want to transfer, this one email, to my Thunderbird desktop client. How can I do this. I want to send a reply, or forward it on, from the same account, but don't want emails coming or going from the old device.

Thanks, but I just wanted the one email, not everything. I've done that before.

Select file , then file save as eml. Then open using your desktop Tbird

Open Thunderbird portable. Save as the email in question from Thunderbird portable or drag and drop it out of Thunderbird portable to a suitable location.  Drag and drop the email file into the required folder in your Thunderbird desktop client.

Thanks. Didn't realise, it would be as simple as that. Didn't used to be.
