I am probably on the wrong forum for this. I am upgrading my OS from XP to W7 (clean install). I am running Thunderbird v3.0.6. I want to copy my Local Folders and migrate them to the new TBird when installed. I don't know how to do this and this question has gone unanswered for 5 months on the TBird help forum. Appreciate any help.

+ 1 for MozBackup. I used that when I upgraded on the same path, worked great without a hitch. Very easy program to use too.

I downloaded Mozbackup and ran it and it looks like what I need. However, I can't determine where the file is stored and how to I store it while doing a clean install? This is a duh question I know.

On the 3rd screen you can select where to save the backup. just save it to another drive or a usb flash drive
