I currently have 3 Comcast mail accounts I access from my home PC using Outlook 2016 configured for POP3. For each of the 3 Outlook accounts I designate a common PST file on my home PC. Thus when launching Outlook messages from all 3 accounts are downloaded from Comcast and stored in this one PST file. Can I configure Thunderbird to do the same?

I admit to being biased, but the Thunderbird backup is rather straightforward and backs up everything at once. Here are steps:

here is the info in brief steps:

BACKUP

  1. ensure thunderbird is not running
  2. enter %appdata% in search window on task bar and press Enter key
  3. this should open windows file explorer in Appdata\roaming folder
  4. highlight the Thunderbird folder and copy to external media

RESTORE

  1. ensure thunderbird is installed and NOT running
  2. enter %appdata% in search window on task bar and press Enter key
  3. you should be in Appdata\roaming folder , copy&paste the exported Thunderbird folder there. This may prompt to overwrite an existing folder of same name. allow it
  4. start thunderbird and all should be there

I encourage doing such a backup periodically, as that allows for a simple restore if the PC crashes.

No. Each account is separate. What would be the advantage of using one file for all three?

  • Managing all my mail from one Windows and Outlook logon session.
  • Backing up a single PST file.

This has worked extremely well for me for the past 10+ years but the Outlook mail client is no longer an option. Time for a change.

Thanks for your reply.
