Do you mean the profile folder used to store all of your Thunderbird data including mails? See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-thunderbird-stores-user-data
yes, I need to store emails for legal purposes, as my primary email provider which I like, has 10MB limitation and I keep running out of space
Move your messages to folders in the Local Folders account.
Copy your profile to an external drive periodically.
Thanks. I moved messages to folders in the local folders account. I can't figure out the step to copy my profile to an external drive. I am 72 and not very computer literate. Thanks for your help.
The page that Matt linked to has instructions.
Even better would be backing up your whole internal drive periodically.
