I would like to be able to make a copy of my e-mail folders. I could then use these folders to restore my e-mails in case of a system crash. They only thing I have been able to determine that they seem to be in a folder AppData under my login name. But the folder seems to be hidden or something because it does not show up. How can I access them and make a copy. Furthermore, how can I copy them back in case of a recovery?

There is an add-on to TB which allows import and export of emails in various formats to a separate storage medium (external disk, thumb drive, etc.).

The instructions on how to download and install it can be found at http://barryduggan.info/exportMail.php
