I've done this myself recently. I think it's well covered in Thunderbirds (and similarly firefox assuming you use it) help files.

Thank you.
Bev.
Sorry, I have to ask another question. What does it mean by 'go up two levels'? To where?
Bev.
Step 2 says "Click "Open Directory"" For me this opens a file browser pointing at a folder called /home/steve/.thunderbird/SOMERANDOMDIGITS.default
When says go up two levels, it means press the up/back a directory level button. For me that's shown as an up-arrow but it could be different for you. It means, go to the parent/previous directory of the current directory, twice.... For me I start in /home/steve/.thunderbird/at2okpjt.default Going up 1 level takes me to /home/steve/.thunderbird/ Going up the 2nd level takes me to /home/steve/
It's basically getting you to where you can see the .thunderbird directory to enable you to copy it.
