Hello all,

I'm currently using Intrepid Ibex (Ubuntu 8.10) on my laptop, and my emails are on Thunderbird (version 2.0). Can someone please tell me how I can take a back up of Thunderbird? I have two email accounts set up on it.


Close Thunderbird and run the command

tar -czvf backup.tar.gz ~/.thunderbird

Thank you Sudheer and Sankarsan. Was able to do it.
