Let me do some testing but I believe you can also place your old profile stuff in a local folder and point TB to that local folder.

@Inkman, It was Windows 7 to Windows 7. Thunderbird to Thunderbird. The files/folders on my versions are of course all the same, but the results have been different thus far. I really appreciate the eforts you all ahv eput in to helping. I'd reallly like to have all my stuff back. Tons and tons of info. I am going to inspect what you have below and give it another shot.
@ Royster, Yes indeed, I need to either really figure this process out or find another method of saving files. I'd kind of hate to always be logged into Google but it might be the most efficient methods these days with what all it offers. Spread sheets and all.
Thanks
Dan

Dan I cannot understand why it is not working properly if copying from win7 to win7 strange. All I can think of is you are copying maybe the wrong folder instead of just the contents. You should only copy over the contents of the folder called MAIL not the profile folder or the random named folder. I also assume you are copying and replacing the existing files.
Dottonedan:
Getting close. folders are importing (with nothing in them)...and yes, I was copying over the wrong folders thus far. Trying again.
Dottonedan:
Copying over 4. some odd GB. If this bugger works, I'm going to send you a six pack of your fav beer!!!!!
Dottonedan:
Nope. Not yet. I gotta run but will try gain later tomorrow.
THANKS!!! I think I'll get it.
