this machine is Win 7 pro with thunderbird e mail. Old machine was Winxp with outlook express. I need to transfer mails to the new machine. There is no tools tab to click

Tools buttons (not tabs!) are on Toolbars. If you can't see a Toolbar, look in the Menu for your function.

If you don't have a menu, or a toolbar, use F10 or alt+v to make a menu appear. In that menu go to View|Toolbars and tick the checkboxes. Repeat for each Thunderbird window as necessary (e.g. Compose, Address Book, message read.)

However, I am not confident for you that you'll be able to import from OE. But I have my fingers crossed for you.

From http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_from_Outlook_Express

"Export the messages as .EML files and then use the ImportExportTools extension to import them. One way to export them is to drag and drop them from Outlook Express to a folder in Windows Explorer. The trial version of Outlook Express Repair also lets you export folders as .EML files."

And from http://kb.mozillazine.org/Importing_and_exporting_your_mail

"The best way to import .EML files is with the ImportExportTools add-on, it lets you import all of the .EML files in a directory in one step using "Tools -> ImportExportTools -> Import all eml files from a directory". However, if you only have a few .EML files you could drag and drop them from Windows Explorer to a folder in Thunderbird instead."
