I appreciate your enthusiasm, but this is not helpful. For most people, copying the entire profile works best, as that simplifies the restore process. Just copying the mbox files creates a complex set of steps to reconstruct the account that many will not be able to do unaided. Also, Thunderbird 102 implemented simple menu-driven steps for doing backups and restores, much simpler than in the past. The tools>export and tools>import are very powerful.
