I had a hard disk failure a few months back. I was able to salvage the old disk drive, and there are a maze of folders under Users/clayton/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/randomdirname. There is a directory Mail with Local Folders, mailroom3.hostrocket.com and mailroom3.hostrocket-1.com. The latter two correspond I believe to the two email addresses I was using.

On my new hard drive, Users/clayton/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/randomdirname has both an ImapMail and Mail folders. Mail has Local Folders only, and ImapMail has imap.claytoncramer.com and imap.claytoncramer-1.com folders, corresponding to my two email addresses.

I would like to merge the only email information into the new. Contacts, old email, everything. I believe it is possible with copy INBOXnew+INBOXold INBOX. What are the sbd and msf files? Do I need to do the same concatenation copy?

I've never heard of concatenating the mail files though I suppose it should be possible. The usual advice given in this forum (it seems to work for most people) is to use the ImportExportTools add-on. I've never used it myself, and looking at the web page it doesn't appear to handle the import of contacts, only mail. However the address book for your old profile should be stored as the abook.mab file, and if you haven't yet created any contacts in the new one you could simply copy that across -- I think it should work. Incidentally the 'maze of folders' is explained here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird -- which also answers your question about the msf files.
