If you still have access to the old laptop set up imap and move the emails back.
yes, I have old laptop here. sorry, not sure how to, is that inside TBird, or how ? (not very familiar with TBird...)
Start TB on the new laptop Close it You have created the default folder/settings in the local %appdata% folder
copy the %appdata%\Thunderbird folder from the old laptop to the new
Finished ;-)
The new laptop is now exacly as the old (better if TB same version before migration).
