Mozilla Thunderbird is an open source email platform that lets you manage various Thunderbird profiles. Email clients use it to keep track of their emails, contacts, calendars, and other things. It's not easy to export info from more than one Thunderbird profile. So, this piece will talk about both manual and automatic ways to do things. But first, you'll look at some of the reasons why people might do this.
Why You Might Want to Move Data Between Multiple Thunderbird Profiles?
1. When we export data from more than one Thunderbird profile, it works as a backup to make sure we don't lose any data.
2. People who use more than one Thunderbird account on different email clients can keep all of their information in one place.
3. It also makes things safer because the data or emails are kept in different Thunderbird accounts.
4. Moving old files or files that aren't used very often can make your Thunderbird app run more smoothly and free up room.
