Hey Guys,

I am in the process of converting my laptop as being my primary place to view all of my e-mails. I would ideally like to be able to copy over all of my e-mails from the desktop to the laptop. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks
James

Do you mean Thunderbird?

There should be a folder called "mail" that contains all your messages. You should be able to copy that over.

On a Mac it is located at User>Library>Thunderbird>Profiles>6cprv9.2.default>Mail

Not sure about IE, or on a PC but it should be similar.

OK, I BELIEVE that I have it figured out for Thunderbird. Now, I just need to work on Outlook. The first trial will be this evening. I really dislike how Windows 'hides' directories. That was the problem, I could not find the thing. :P

Cheers
James

If worse comes to worse, you could always forward them to yourself. . .

Yeah, well, I didn't say it was a GREAT idea

There should be an easy way to do it once you find the right folder.
