Old hard drive crashed--bought new computer. Thunderbird up and running in "imap." (comcast.net) Old computer T-bird was also "imap." Need to find all my old addresses/contacts, and all my saved email files/folders. Understand that they may be on the server. If so, where is the server and how do I access it? Your help is desparately needed and appreciated!

Do you still have the old computer, or more importantly, its hard disk drive?
