I have an extensive collection of emails in my Local Folders in Thunderbird. I know see they are part of my TB profile. Can i just right click on that Local Folder in the TB profile and copy and paste to a created folder on a flash drive to save outside my pc in case my pc crashes and later again copy from that flash drive and paste them into my new computer TB profile?
