I want to save a basic profile to my backup drive. This basic profile only should contain the e-mail address, login details, POP- and SMTP-servers of each account, installed add-ons and so on. The profile should NOT contain messages (all my accounts are SMTP-accounts). How do I create this? I've read the page of migration data to another computer. Can I delete some files and/or folders from that created copy of the profile?

It's recommended to backup the entire Thunderbird profile. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profiles-tb#w_backing-up-a-profile

I don't see the point creating a 'basic profile' solely for backup purposes. If you're planning to clone that 'basic profile' to a number of other machines, that would make more sense to me.

Create a copy of your existing profile. Make sure it is referenced in profiles.ini. Then start Thunderbird in offline mode with the copied profile. Offline mode prevents downloading any more messages from the server. If your account is IMAP, offline mode will prevent Thunderbird from deleting your entire message archive from the server. Finally delete all mail you don't need in the 'basic' profile.

Backup the 'basic' profile.
