If that worked and TB ran on JSL the new machine, which directories/files would I have to copy to JSL retrieve all her emails and attachments? She has only a few filters so JSL I can easily rebuild those. In the menu under: Options - Preferences - System - Mail Directory you will find the location of the mail directory, copy that with all subdirectories to the new pc. After you've done that you install TB (not the other way around like you suggested) When TB runs it'll ask you whether you want to restore a backup or create a new account, go for a new account, you'll be prompted for a mail directory and you select the path you copied your old mail directory (that doesn't have to be the same path as on your old pc) Next you give the name for your new account, that will be the same name as it has on the old pc, TB will recognize the existing folder structure. If necessary do this for every existing account. -- Groetjes, Roelof Veni, Vedi, Vomitus.

I realise that Roelof has already replied, but I would do it completely differently from what he suggests and have also gone through the steps recently, moving TB! to a new computer: 1.) Make a full backup of TB! using the internal backup function. Click all options under Tools / Backup. 2.) A file *.tbk will be created. I copied mine onto a USB stick. 3.) On the new computer, install TB! from the *.msi file you have. During the unstallation process, you will be asked whether to create a new account or restore from backup. Choose restore, and point to the file that is on your USB stick (which you will have plugged into your new computer by now). 4.) TB! launches, all your mails, folders, filters, settings, bells and whistles, are as they were on the old computer. Don't worry about creating directories and copying registry keys. Backup-restore does this automatically. -- Cheers, Thomas.
