Find your Thunderbird profile in the MOZPROFILES\Thunderbird\Profiles directory, and you'll find a bunch of *.mab files. I think it's sufficient to copy those over to the new PC. Actually, I suspect that if you copy then entire contents of the profile directory you'll also successfully migrate all the old mail, where you were up to in the newsreader, etc. But I've never tried that, so back up first if you want to try it. I've just noticed that Thunderbird has an "import" option to import address books from other mail programs, but no "export". Presumably that's to discourage people from migrating to another program. From the format of the *.mab files, I suspect that it would be possible to implement an "export" as a not-too-complicated Rexx script. In fact, I've just remembered that I once put a script on Hobbes to do the export from PMMail; it might just be a matter of modifying that. -- Peter Moylan peter at pmoylan dot org http://www.pmoylan dot org ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 4 ==========================** Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:08:33 +1000 From: Dennis Nolan Subject: Re: Email addresses Alan Open your address book and under the Tools menu item are Import and Export menu items. Export the address book into a file from your existing installation and then do an Import from the new installation. Firefox uses *.ldif to export addresses. Regards Dennis.
