[ubuntu-za] Backing up Thunderbird

[Jan Greeff]

Hi Wikus, I have been backing up my .thunderbird folder before a fresh 
install for some time and it works like a dream. Just re-install the 
folder into your Home folder before you open Thunderbird and everything 
is there. No more loss of contacts, settings, mails or even calendar 
entries.
