How can I back up my local folders (copying/saving them in USB storage)?
I would like to back up just my local folders in Thunderbird; i.e., copy them to a USB storage device? Is there a way that I can do this?

use the ImportExporttool.
- Install this addon tool: https://freeshell.de//~kaosmos/mboximport-en.html
Use the link and scroll down to bottom to see download.
Save the xpi file to your desktop
- In Thunderbird, 'Tools' > 'Add-ons'
- Add-ons Manager opens in new tab
- click on the daisy wheel icon and select 'Install addon from file'
- locate the saved .xpi file and click on 'open'
- close and restart Thunderbird
Now use the tool to Export the folder or emails in the folder.
- Right click on folder > ImportExport tool >
select from options available such as:
* you could 'export all messages in the folder' as 'eml' format
See image.
The other option would be to copy the Local Folders folder from your Profile folders. These would not be saved as individual .eml files.
make hidden files and folders visible:
In Thunderbird
- Help > Troubleshooting Information
- click on 'Show Folder'
- Close Thunderbird Now
- click on 'Mail' folder
- copy the 'Local Folders' folder or click on that folder to open and copy the files with folder names (not .msf files).
I'd simply backup the entire profile.
