How do you back up the LOCAL folder emails?
I have always kept old emails in the LOCAL folders for security reasons not having all my info on a server somewhere that could be comprimized/stolen/scammed. I am now on Yahoo and have heard security is not the best so I am not sure I want to put all these files on their servers. Now, however, as my PC is getting old I am afraid it could crash, I assume I would loose all those emails-correct?. If I go into my TB Profile and find the Mail/Local Folder I can copy and paste it to a flash drive. Would that be the recommended way to back up? If I did this process a month from now would it, like a file, ask me to overwrite what is already there and add anything new? If my PC did crash, could I do the reverse and copy and paste that flash drive Local folder into my new TB profile? Thank You.

Personally I use the options built into the import export tools addon. https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools-ng/?src=ss
Thank you Matt..I will look into that..I assume those emails will be saved but I can only open them on TB. As I am learning about the TB Profile>MAIL, I do see a folder in that Profile labeled "Local Folders" so am I correct that if I save my Profile file tx6mhuc.default that my email in those Local folders are also back up? I guess my thoughts now are if my PC crashes I will need ALL my emails to install on new PC and I could simply replace the Profile file on the new PC with the saved one I have on a flash drive--is that a correct thought?
