  • If you have installed Thunderbird on the Vista PC, rename the "Thunderbird" folder to "XThunderbird".
  • To get to the Thunderbird folder: Start → Run Then enter: %AppData%\Thunderbird
  • Next: copy the Thunderbird folder on the XP PC to backup media (CD/DVD/Zip Disk) etc. If you burn to CD, first zip the folder with WinZip, or whatever zip utility you use.
