   Importing email accounts in Thunderbird
  Yes I know: Tools->Import, but that only imports email accounts and collections from other applications or exported containers, such as csv or ldif. I was stupid enough not to export anything before I made my old system inaccessible to Windows, which means that I can't access my accounts from Thunderbird, but I have them safely tucked away somewhere on the old hard drive (which is running as a slave now).The question is: where are these files located and what format are they in (I searched for the extensions that TB allows me to import - well, apart from txt - and it turned up nothing)? I'd like to directly import my old accounts and emails directly from the hard drive.   
  I usually re-create my email accounts, and then replace the created files with my older files. I think last time it worked by just copying all the data directories into C:\Documents and Settings\Patrick\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\7lh3dy3z.default\Mail. Altho I'm not sure at the moment.Toolmaker   ;  You need to copy files from your old Profile Folder to your new one.Some pointers:http://kb.mozillazine.org/Combining_two_profiles or possibly http://kb.mozillazine.org/Importing_and_exporting_your_mail.If your old inbox comes up blank afterwards there's a regexp you can use on the INBOX file to change X-Mozilla-Status header on it... No idea where I found it though :(;  Thanks, guys! Works like a charm!   ;  Excellent! [smile]
