I use importexport tools to make backups of thunderbird. And i use a Synology NAS with encryption of the content of the hdd. This means, that the length of a filename or a path should not exceed 45 characters. But importexport tools produce them - even when I rename the top-level dir name to D:/tb/ All the backup files have no good name convention to match on a ciphered SYNOLOGY NAS HDD. Who can help me? How can i shorten the filenames and subdir-names?

TIA

Why don't you backup the entire profile? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_:_FAQs_:_Backing_Up_and_Restoring

So it is enough to backup the folder

C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\profiles

???

Thanks for Answer....

Yes. Read this article, then it should become obvious. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird
