Backup, Archive, Restart, Access
Have several email profiles in Thunderbird. A couple have grown quite large. I move messages to folders as I need access a lot of information going back years.
Am also being forced (godaddy) to migrate to MS365 / Outlook. Grrrr.
What I want to do but don't quite know how to come at this is... back up all messages. Inbox as well as saved messages underneath their respective profiles. Ideally, would like to then reinstall Thunderbird and start fresh, BUT, I need to be able to access old emails.
Anyone suggest how to come at this? Thinking there must be a way of saving the many, many messages to respective files, then using a program?? to read the saved, or archived, or is there another term, while starting a fresh Tbird installation?
Not ideal is running a Virtual Machine and having a version of Thunderbird running which can look at all messages.
Or, is there another way to export/save/etc to a directory, and have a proggie look at/view/read.. these stored/saved/archived emails and attachments?

Just a possibility, assuming these are POP accounts: - exit Thunderbird - in Windows File Explorer, locate the Mail folder in each profile - copy the accountname folder and sub folders to Mail\local Folders in a designated profile - repeat this for accounts in all profiles, being sure not to overwrite any previously copied folder
When done, the designated folder should show, in Local Folders, all of your accounts and their message folder.
