- Install Thunderbird on new computer
- Copy all data in profile to computer with new profile created on new computer during Thunderbird install --in XP it's C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles)
- Run MozBackup to backup Thunderbird - Save the backup
- Delete all the data in the profile you just backed up on your new computer (since it is all backed up AND since you still have a copy on the old drive you will be safe if something were to flub up).
- Run MozBackup to restore profile to Thunderbird
- Open Thunderbird and you should see all your accounts and emails
--in Vista and Win 7 it's C:\users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\
