I have a t-bird folder that I want to save on a flash drive. How do I do that?
I downloaded an export add-on for Tbird, but can't figure out where it went or how to use it. I want to back up an email folder onto a flash drive. Been going around in circles trying to find out how to do this. I did find 1 similar question/answer to this, but it didn't work for me? Help!

It is recommended to backup the entire Thunderbird profile. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profiles-where-thunderbird-stores-user-data#w_backing-up-a-profile

What add on did you download? Did you install it after you downloaded the file?
I'm in real estate and have to save my emails for 7 years. Is it possible to move my emails to a flash or zip drive and get them off my mac and in a format I can open and read on the drive. Thanks.
Install this add-on. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/
Download the file to some place you can find it. In Thunderbird open the Add-Ons tab and click Extensions Click the icon that looks like a gear and select Install Add-on from file. Point to the file and install it.
Read the documentation on the add-ons site for details of what it does and how to use it.
