But it is necessary for the user to save Thunderbird data by taking backup in default mail or in any other mail format because the problem does not come by informing anyone.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s look at some facts that lead to mailbox loss and corruption<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Large mailbox conversion or broadcast<\/li>\n<li>On the go for system update and maintenance<\/li>\n<li>Having a virus in the system can damage your mailbox<\/li>\n<li>Window crashes can also lead to data loss because Mozilla Thunderbird stores mailboxes in C drive.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_Mozilla_Thunderbird_Mailbox_Formats\"><\/span>About Mozilla Thunderbird Mailbox &amp; Formats<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Mozilla Thunderbird is an open source email client, chat and messenger that provide worldwide service. It includes a variety of extensions for different purposes. Most users know that a default Thunderbird profile stores the <a style=\"color: red;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mailsdaddy.com\/blogs\/export-thunderbird-sbd-pst-outlook-2019-2016-2013-etc\/\">.sbd<\/a> (sub-directory folder), .msf (mail summary file) and .mbox (mailbox) formats.<\/p>\n<p>So when a user wants to back up Mozilla Thunderbird then the .mbox file format is used.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Backup_Methods_for_Mozilla_Thunderbird\"><\/span>Backup Methods for Mozilla Thunderbird<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Here we will use 3 different methods to back up Thunderbird email and by each method we will save Thunderbird backup in different formats. So you can use that method in whichever format you want to backup.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_1_Use_Import-Export_Tool_to_make_Thunderbird_emails_backup\"><\/span>Method 1: Use Import-Export Tool to make Thunderbird emails backup<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>First, install the ImportExportTools add-on in Mozilla Thunderbird and then restart it.<\/li>\n<li>Now, choose a folder or select all the emails you want to back up and right-click on it.<\/li>\n<li>Go to ImportExportTools NG &gt;&gt; Export Folder &gt;&gt; EML file format.<\/li>\n<li>Select a location to save the Thunderbird email backup in EML format and then click on Select Folder.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That&#8217;s all.<\/p>\n<p>You have successfully saved all the emails as a backup on your hard disk. Now users can open this mailbox in any EML based email client, even Thunderbird.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_2_Create_Zip_file_backup_for_all_Thunderbird_emails\"><\/span>Method 2: Create Zip file backup for all Thunderbird emails<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Press Windows+R keys and type %Appdata%, then click the Enter button or follow the path: C:\\Users\\Username\\AppData\\Roaming<\/li>\n<li>Scroll down and find the Thunderbird folder then right-click on it<\/li>\n<li>Go to Send to option and click on Compressed (zipped) folder.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now wait for the compress process to finish until your Thunderbird folder\/email is converted to a ZIP file format. Lastly you can move it to any other location or system.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pitfalls_of_manual_backup\"><\/span>Pitfalls of manual backup<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>The above methods only provide the backup of MBOX and EML file format, so some users here are not completely satisfied.<\/li>\n<li>The process consists of several steps and takes a lot of time with large mailboxes because you have to follow it separately for each mailbox.<\/li>\n<li>Supervision is required because if you face any error then you may be in trouble.<\/li>\n<li>Folder structure may be not similar as before.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_3_Automated_tool_for_Thunderbird_backup\"><\/span>Method 3: Automated tool for Thunderbird backup<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>MailsDaddy Thunderbird converter is the most trusted application software that helps you to create <a style=\"color: red;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mailsdaddy.com\/thunderbird-to-outlook-converter\/\">Thunderbird email backup<\/a> in PST, EML, MSG, HTML, MHTML &amp; RTF format. The software easily loads the bulk mailbox and provides accurate output in a local drive.<\/p>\n<p>It also manages folder hierarchy after loading and exporting mailbox in selected mail format.
