The old version is version 5 (not the version 7 I am > using for this message on a different laptop). You don't need to copy the mail directory. All you do is download the .msi onto the new computer and click on it. During installation, you will be asked whether you want to restore from a backup file. Confirm that. Then you will be asked to browse to the file. You choose the file and let TB! do its magic. I've done that several times in the past. -- Cheers, Thomas.
