Security of Thunderbird backup
I make a back up of my Thunderbird emails to a memory stick. I just copy the whole Thunderbird folder from AppData/Romaning.
Should I lose the stick, and someone else get hold of it could they access emails etc or are they encrypted and tied some how to my Thunderbird ?

Hello,
No, These emails are not encrypted. You can encrypt the login data and require a password for login (keeping emails decrypted), or you can encrypt the data on the usb stick.
If someone gets access to the profile folder, they can effectively duplicate your thunderbird.
Many thanks for the prompt replies.
