How can I view an email account password in Thunderbird?

Thunderbird Installation and updates

I want to move Thunderbird from one computer to another. For various reasons, I want to do this by doing a fresh install on the computer I'm moving Thunderbird to then move data. However, I don't remember my email account password and cannot locate it in the Thunderbird Profiles folder.
