#9952 — Where does Thunderbird keep its emails?

I need to extract emails, in whatever format they are stored, from 
Thunderbird which is on a hard drive taken out of a dead computer. I 
can access the SATA hard drive as an external drive. Already many 
documents and other files have been copied over onto a hard drive in a 
working computer, but I now need to save out the emails. Where do I 
look for the emails?

Wherever thunderbird was configured to store them

on *nix the default is ~/.thunderbird/<random alphanumeric>.default/Mail

But you can change that...

On windows it's in:

c:\Users\[username]\appdata\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\[random #].default\

Thanks for that. I better not say on which OS this Thunderbird flies, 
but I was able to retrieve all of the emails.

Cheers,

If it wasn't on a Raspberry Pi, please ask on an appropriate group. Just 
as with csa.* this isn't a dumping ground for general enquires.
