I set up Thunderbird on my new machine and discovered I would need to set up an older version on my old box so I could import my Outlook emails into Thunderbird. I didn't have the messages stay on the server, so there are some emails on my new box that are not on the old. I have copied the Thunderbird profile folder on the old machine with Thunderbird installed and the Outlook emails imported, but I am not sure how to combine that with the Thunderbird on the new box.

You can import mail from another profile. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Thunderbird#Mail

Thanks, I will try later, but that sounds like it just might do it.

EastMusicMan should take the above advice with a grain of 'use at your own risk' salt. Before attempting such - make backups of all related profiles.

The excellent extensions referred to in the above link were created by Kaosmos - and are being trashed by newer versions of Thunderbird. He has already round-filed Firefox extensions and it seems the TBird ones are not far behind. He no longer responds to support requests - so you will be on your own. MoreFunctionsForAddressBook is already in the dumpster and ImportExportTools may be there as well. You can read about the bad news here:

... from the above link

"What about Thunderbird extensions? At present it's not clear yet if Thunderbird XUL/XPCOM-based add-ons will have the same destiny of Firefox add-ons. If Thunderbid in future will go on sharing the most part of its core code with Firefox, XUL/XPCOM-based add-ons will be banned on Thunderbird too. Personally I think that this will end up to happen sooner or later, but now nobody can say what will happen to Thunderbird development in future.

So, for the moment I will go on mantaining and supporting Thunderbird add-ons as far as I can. Of course I will not add new features or write new extensions, because this could be a waste of time if also Thunderbird XUL/XPCOM-based add-ons will be banned."
