How to do wholesale copy of THunderbird + all email accts to a new cpu

[teddyFBI]

I've got around 11 email accounts set up in my Thunderbird client.

I'm getting a new computer and i want to just be able to basically transplant my Thunderbird client + all email accounts as I have them set up to the new computer without having to set each account up individually w/ all the settings, etc, like i had to do when i originally set up the accounts on my existing computer.

Something easy I can do...?

why do you want to move them to your processor? The harddrive would be a better place........

There is an export feature in Outlook express, but I am not sure about Thunderbird, try googling it if you don't get an answer here soon.

cuz you can carry the cpu in your pocket

You will need to copy your Thunderbird profile directory to the new computer. See here for details:

It doesn't explicitly cover copying to a new computer, but the details of moving/copying profiles around are similar.
