If I copy a message file of Local Folders from the Thunderbird profile on one computer to the corresponding path on another computer, will Thunderbird process it correctly?

I see my e-mails in Local Folders are stored in this file, /home/norio/.thunderbird/<random>.default-release/Mail/Local\ Folders/<subfolder_name>.sbd/Inbox If I copy this file to the same path (except rewriting <random> string) on another computer by OS's commands (like cp and rsync), will the messages show up in Thunderbird on the destination computer?

I see many back-up and recovery articles that instructs the users to copy the entire profile directory and copy it to the new computer. I wonder if I can copy only a message file, so that I don't have to overwrite the entire settings and messages on the destination computer.

Yes, that works. Do it with windows file explorer (if using Windows) and it works. If a message file, no need to also copy the xxx.sbd folder.

Hasznos?

david, thank you for your reply. It worked. Below is a log for someone who wants to know more.

I wanted to have the messages in a subfolder under "Local Folders." So, I created this subfolder in Thunberbird by right-clicking on "Local Folders." I looked at the path, /home/norio/.thunderbird/<random>.default-release/Mail/Local\ Folders/ but <subfolder_name.sbd> has not been created. (This might be because I didn't restart Thunderbird.) So, while Thunderbird still running, I created <subfolder_name.sbd> by mkdir command in Linux and copied the message file Inbox under this new directory. I restarted Thunderbird, and messages appeared under "Local Folders/<subfolder_name>". New file /home/norio/.thunderbird/<random>.default-release/Mail/Local\ Folders/<subfolder_name.sbd>/Inbox.msf was created automatically.

Hasznos?
