Thunderbird saves personal information such as messages, passwords and user preferences in a set of files called a "profile", which is stored in a separate location from the Thunderbird program files.

You can move your profile across computers, or back them up to restore later.

- WalterBright 12y agoI know about those (these are helpful links, thanks!). They are stored in different locations on different OS's, even different versions of the same OS. There needs to be a menu item called "Backup" where you give a path to back it up to, and "Restore" where you give a path where it was backed up to. Reading the documentation on those links just proves the point :-)
