Backup selected email accounts
Hi there!
I have 20+ email accounts on my Thunderbird, Mac os and some are from my old websites that aren't functional anymore, but I would love to back up the data as there's quiet of useful / business info in them.
So, is it possible to just back up selected accounts from Thunderbird, instead of backing up the entire profile of 30+GBs?
If yes, how ? and will I be able to restore them later ?
Regards Manas
OS : Mac Sonoma 14.4.1 Thunderbird: 115.9.0

If you just want backup, but intend to leave accessible, my suggestion would be: - if accounts are IMAP, check 'account settings' >'syncronization&storage and verify that the folders are ticked for download/offline and also sync all messages. - Then, if accounts are IMAP click File>offline>download to ensure all messages are downloaded - next, click help>troubleshootinginformation, - scroll down to 'profile folder' and click 'open profile - exit thunderbird - for IMAP accounts , click Imapmail folder and copy each account folder to external media - Repeat the process at Mail folder for each POP account - Now, for any that you do not want to leave accessible, start TB and remove those accounts.
