I have a profile (aumd8yrt.default-release) with several mail accounts. Would like to know how to export / import only one of these email accounts (with all its data not only the login credentials) so I can move the account between different profiles in different computers. Any ideas how to do that?

Unfortunately for your intent, all accounts are managed within prefs.js. My suggestion is to create a profile of just the one account and switch to it as needed. Another option would be to create a portable setup of the one account for easy movement.
