✴️ Moving email from one machine to another is a snap when you're using Thunderbird as your email program. I'll show you how.

Thunderbird stores all your information in what it calls a “profile” — a folder that contains everything. All you need do to move your Thunderbird email is to locate the profile on the old machine and copy it in its entirety to the profile location on the new machine.
