Have - so far - been unable to move my Thunderbird profile from an old WinXP computer to a Win7 machine.
I have followed the various advice I have found on multiple sites. No luck. On sticking point is the mail storage locations got separated somewhere between Win98SE, Win2000 & WinXP, as well as several email accounts along the way. Some are located under Document and Settings|<user>|Application Data|Thunderbird. The rest are under Documents and Setting|Application Data|Mozilla|Profiles|default|...etc -*.SLT files.
I have thought to move the *.SLT mail to the normal folders under the user and edit the prefs.js file to point to the new location. Then move to Win7.
Has anyone tried this? Think it might work?
I really need some advice. The WinXP machine needs to be retired and email is the only thing it's being used for.
