I have cloned one PC to another. Both are Win 7 Pro 64 bit. I now want to delete thunderbird + emails + contacts from the new machine (because the clone data is out of date). Then I want to use MozBackup to move all the up-to-date e-mails + contacts from the old machine to the new machine but I want the e-mails & contacts and other data for that matter from the SSD C: on the new machine to another HD. Finally I want to totally erase the e-mails but NOT the contact list from the old machine. I still want to use that machine from time to time to get /send e-mails. Can do? How?
