Q: 

How can I add a backup to an already existing installation of Thunderbird?

Hello,

I recently installed windows 7 on a new HD to use on my pc. I did not emediately installed the backup of my previous thunderbird installation to the new HD, which I have been using for about a couple of months now. Now that I want to move the old messages from the previous installation of thunderbird to the new one I see that all the inbox and sent messages are each stored in a single file. Is there a way to move that file to the new installation without loosing email I have received or sent while using it?

Thank you!
