Hello:
I am using Windows 10, I recently installed Thunderbird to send/receive emails. I have 6 different profiles with different email providers.
I just want to export 6 profiles or simply the emails and password. So in case my PC crashes, I can use the exported profiles, and restore those profiles in another PC.
Please give me some command line example how I can export those 6 profiles (or just the email addresses and password is enough).
Please advise,
Thanks

Hey. ThunderFox allows you to specify the profile directory by using the "/target" parameter. There's an example of this in the image below. All you have to do is repeat the process for all the profiles you have. Just make sure each profile directory has a logins.json and key4.db file in them. Those are required to decrypt the credentials.
