just as easier (and wiser) to just backup the whole thing. That way if
you need to restore, all of your profiles settings, extensions/add-ons,
etc., are restored as well. Plus, if you only want to just put back the
mail bits, you can easily just pull that folder from the backup and plug
it in.

<pre wrap="">This.
also worth noting that the OP's original question was to transfer
Thunderbird from one machine/os to the other (unless I got my threads
crossed again.), in which case, backing up it's whole directory is the
way to go. Your Spam/Ham file (I forget what file it is) is itself
probably one of the most important files to backup besides your actual
mail/address book, but so easy to overlook.

brought my mail in from Windows, I didn't have to retrain the spam
filters in Ubuntu's Thunderbird.
Later, Ray Parrish
