Thunderbird Suggestion to Export E-mail Settings

Thunderbird Installation and updates

I have a suggestion for Thunderbird. I have five different e-mail addresses and it takes a while to re-connect them each type I get a new computer and/or re-install Thunderbird. Could you add a feature in the settings to export connected accounts to a .csv, .html, or a .xml file so it can easily be imported later. Thank you,

Edward

That feature already exists in the form of the profile. when setting up a new PC, all that is needed is to copy the profile from old PC to new PC. Passwords must be inserted again, but it's quite painless. The tools>import menu even includes that service.
