Hi Just currently reinstalling windows and trying to import my old thunderbird files. i've exported the whole profile into a 12Gb zip but for some reason i cant extract it without errors. I've tried the latest winzip 28, beezip and 7zip and can only extract 4gb. 7zip listed these errors. screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/y4YjtYi

Are there any other apps i can use to extract this? thanks Z

hi david, thanks for the idea but didnt work perfectly. still many corrupted files. all good though, ended up finding most of my emails on my other PC

also is the 'sent folder file' interchangeable? ie, can i just copy a previous sent folder to replace to new one?

Yes, you can do that. I'm glad you were able to save most of your data.
