The version of Thunderbird I currently have on my Dell desktop is possibly corrupted. Dell Premium Support is trying to help me. I currently cannot send or receive e-mail through Thunderbird. Dell technician wants to install new version of Thunderbird. Then he wants to create a back up of all my current Thunderbird e-mail, and of all my local folders, including their contents. Then he would export the data from the back up and import it onto the new version of Thunderbird.

Please explain how to create a back up of all Thunderbird data.

I have read some information on how to create back up of Thunderbird Profile. However, this is apparently not a back up of all the e-mail itself, plus all the local folders and their contents. Thank you.

Reinstall may not be necessary. Who is your email provider, and what are the error messages you're getting?
