| 1335930 | 2013-04-08 08:57:00 | Every time I go to back up my Thunderbird it is a bit of a drama Profiles Addresses Messages I always have to refer to my notes and up date them. And just about every tutorial I see on the web is a bit lacking in detail. I have often see people recommend the Mozback Utility. Has anyone used it (and successfully restored from it) or copied to another machine etc. (As an aside I really wish that Mozilla would make a built in utility to the whole job in one step) I have tried to suggest this to them, but their support is so hard to get though to. |

It seems to backup the emails Does it backup the profiles and address lists? (And has anyone used Mozback?) |

| 1335935 | 2013-04-09 10:11:00 | Just make a copy of the profile folder. (*gobbldegook*.default or such) Job done. To restore it or move it to another PC (or OS) drop it in the profiles folder and update profiles.ini to point to it. |

To restore it or move it to another PC (or OS) drop it in the profiles folder and update profiles.ini to point to it. Thanks I can do that. But does that do the Profile Addresses and Messages ? |

| 1335938 | 2013-04-09 22:08:00 | I used it to backup, and then restore to a new PC recently. Worked fine. I installed Mozback last night and backed up my Thunderbird and My Firefox It took a while and created two big files So I suppose its working. Now I just need to test the restore ! |
