I have 2 email accounts that I wish to run under the same Thunderbird, will I have 1 or 2 profiles?

I have an email account that I have had for several years and I run it under Thunderbird. I have recently opened a Gmail account and understand that I can operate this under the same Thunderbird (I haven't tried it yet so expect a few glitches on the way, as per usual! There are plenty of articles covering this, so I live in hope)! Potential problem is: I have backed up my old profile account regularly and know how to do it (though I've not yet had to restore it and of course hope I never will), What worries me is that if I follow the procedure to add Gmail to my Thunderbird (and it works), will I get a single profile covering both email accounts which I will be able to back up in the way I am used to; or will I get 2 profiles including a new one for Gmail so I will need to back up both? A simple question but I haven't seen the answer anywhere yet!

You can have multiple various accounts all stored in one Thunderbird Profile. When you back up that profile, you will back up all those accounts.

It's possible to create multiple profiles, each having its own collection of email account, folders, passwords, preferences, etc. But that's an unwieldy setup that's not meant for the typical user.
