I have not tried this with TB!, but I've done it successfully with *many*
different programs (migrating from Win to NT or 2000), and it's never
failed me yet.
1) Make a complete copy of your TB! installation as is.
2) Install TB! on your new system fresh.
3) Go to the TB! installation folder on your new system and nuke everything
except the root folder itself. Ignore any and all error messages or
warnings.
4) Now copy everything from your old installation into the new installation
folder. I would guess this gives you correct registry information (from
the new install), and all your old e-mail and folder hierarchy from your
old installation.
As I say, I've yet to try this with TB!, so I don't know if there is
anything unusual about TB! that would foil this, but I suspect not. Anyone
else? Not too much additional work, really.
