What is the best way to copy 700 local folders full of email to a new computer?
I am moving my wife from and old computer (Thunderbird, Win XP) to a new one (Thunderbird Win 7). She has about 700 local folders with thousands of email messages in them. What is the best way to copy them to the new computer?

The easiest way is just copy the whole profile.
Help menu > troubleshooting information
Close Thunderbird
In windows explorer select all and copy. paste everything onto a thumb or other read/write portable media (not CD or DVD)
on the new Machine repeat the troubleshooting and close steps to get the current profile folder
This time paste everything from the portable media into the profile replacing what is there
Open Thunderbird, your done mail contacts add-ons everything
