Importing mail to Thunderbird

MouldyOldDough

I am trying to import all of my mail from my old laptop to my new laptop using MOZBACKUP - However, I am only able to import my profile - not the actual emails - any ideas ?

https://www.mailstore.com/en/ Ive used mailstore for years, it can move emails between accounts etc and its free for home users

can mailstore cope with over 60,000 emails ?

Also - I can't see any way of IMPORTING them back in to the new laptop - theres only Export & Archive

I have done a complete archive to c:/mailstore - which took 30 minutes and after this - I can see no large folder/file with all of the data !

It can definitely be done as I have moved locally stored emails between computers and also between thunderbird and outlook.

I quite often move my TB data from my desktop to my laptop when I take it away.
All I do is copy the complete TB profile folder across.
And then copy it back when I get home.

Sorry - I can't get mailstore to work for me

Any other suggestions ?

@alanwsg has posted the solution.  Just copy your profile folder.
