I want to transfer both Tbird and Firefox to a different computer,
both systems running Win2KPro. How do I do this and retain my mail
folders, newsgroups, bookmarks and everything?

all your settings, prefs, bookmarks, mail, etc, are stored
in the area called the Profile. FF and TB each have their
own profile. Just copy the profiles from one machine to the
other. To learn more about it you can read this:
