How to copy emails from Thunderbird folders to another computer's Thunderbird.
I have a block of 20 or so emails in a Thunderbird folder on one computer. I want to copy them and install them in Thunderbird on another computer. I can obviously forward them one by one but is there a better way?.

Many ways....
Forwarding, as attachments, seems a good way, for such a comparatively small number of messages. You may be able to attach them all to one new message. The success of this depends on the message size limits set by your email provider(s).
Use the Mail Redirect add-on to forward them. It allows you to select multiple messages, and they arrive as if from the original sender. This usually avoids size limits, as messages are sent individually.
You can export them, as. eml files, (File|Save As) and import those .eml files into the other Thunderbird by simply drag-and-dropping the .eml files into the appropriate folder.
You can use a tool such as the ImportExportTools add-on to export and import them en masse, again using the .eml format.
Note that if you use either of these last two "import" methods, you'll have to import into a local account, that is, a POP-connected account, or the Local Folders account, then move them to where you actually want them.
