Moving emails to new hard drive.

  1. I'm moving old emails, from my old hard drive, to the new hard drive. The emails are in a folder named entries. The email type is called File. The emails don't have subject, or names. Instead they have numbers, and letters. I managed to get some emails, by doing a key word search. But others I can't. The ones I did a key word search, I just clicked, and dragged. These I can't drag.

    Anybody know how I can get these emails into my Thunderbird? I'm on a Dell Inspiron 17 5765 laptop. With Windows 10.

  2. I got it fixed. So no worries.
