Backing Up Your Thunderbird Data

• This article is for Windows only

Mozilla Thunderbird keeps your email data within a hidden folder located on your computer. Carbonite adds this location to your backup set by default. To ensure the files are backed up, navigate to the location where they are stored to see if they are selected..

Thunderbird data files are stored in the following locations by default, depending on your operating system:

Windows XP

• C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\*Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\

Windows Vista and newer

• C:\users\[User Name]\*AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\

AppData is hidden by default. You will need to unhide the file location in order to select it for backup.

If they are not selected for backup, you will need to right-click each file and select Carbonite; Back this up.
