If your disk gets corrupt you will be in a big soup trying to recover your latest mails. Thunderbird stores everything in a single folder (mails, accounts,addresses) so all you need is to copy / paste the folder into the right location. Same with Firefox and its personalised settings and bookmarks. When your account profiles go corrupt, it is the individual folder files that come to your rescue by letting you manually paste them into the new profile you create.
