1182714 2011-03-01 22:39:00 Hi Guys

I am talking about the Thunderbird email client.

The program is great but

I wonder why they have not made a simple Menu option to backup up your email profile and addresses and emails etc.

Is it so hard ?

1182715 2011-03-01 23:00:00 Some email programs do, some dont.

Never tried it, but This here (http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/) mozBackup says it will backup FF, thunderbird etc. After all they only store the data in the profile folder.

1182716 2011-03-01 23:07:00 IMO Thunderbird is probably the easiest to back up. All you have to do is copy the profiles folder. That contains everything important. wratterus (105)
1182717 2011-03-01 23:45:00 Yep and all your emails are not in one *.crap file they are in sent inbox etc Gobe1 (6290)

Copy the profile, or use Mozbackup. Easy.
