Had to reinstall Windows XP-3 today and although I saved the Thunderbird
directory from program files on a DVD, I can't figure out how the hell
to get all the mailboxes and settings into the new install of
Thunderbird. Any one know the list of required files that I can
transfer to the new install? Any help would be appreciated (Version
2.0.0.24) I'm a fairly new user of this program.

Might have better luck in a Thunderbird program group. This is the
alt.comp.hardware.amd.thunderbird group dealing with the thunderbird cpu.
Not the mail client.
