location email in the user folder
Hello! Please tell me where is the email in the user folder? There is a script that should connect to computers and extract mail from them. I tried it in file 'Inbox' and file 'Sent', but there is no uniformity and on other computers the email may not be in the specified places. Is there a common unchangeable place in the profile folder where the email is stored?

I don't know what you need, but this may help: - the profile default location is c:\users\<yourid>\appdata\roaming\thunderbird\profiles\<profilename> - within the profile the mail is normally in the imapmail folder for IMAP accounts and the Mail folder for POP accounts - within the relative imapmail or mail folder, the structure is <accountname>\<message folders> - message folders have two components, the message folder itself, and an index file ending in .msf - example would be inbox, inbox.msf, sent, sent.msf, etc.
To view your specific setup,
- click help>troubleshootinginformation
- scroll down to 'profile folder' and click 'open folder'
- you are now in the profile and the imapmail and mail folder are now visible.
I need to extract user@example.com from the user profile folder. So my question is, HOW CAN I DO THIS? Here's an example of what I did after I remotely connected to the compueter: $str=type .\inbox|?{$_ -match "^to"}|select -first 1; if ($str.StartsWith('To: =?UTF-8?')){$name1=$str.split().split("@")[2];$name1=$name1.TrimStart('<'); $name1} else{ $name=$str.split().split("@")[1]; $name} $name will display user in this case, but when connecting to another computer, the account will be in a different place and $name will no longer display mail.
You're seeking help in scripting and that is not a focus here. You may do better by locating a forum for that specific skill.
