Thunderbird stores your "personal information", which is your messages,
address books & configuration in a "Profile Folder".
Here's a good article that I found easy to understand on how to back it up:

If they're still visible in one your Thunderbird folders, you can just
select all the ones you want to save and right click to bring up the
context menu and select "Save As". Thunderbird will prompt you to select
a location.
You end up with file names like:
"Re computer woes and advice needed - Ann Sanfedele ([email protected])
- 2015-04-30 1140"
The last bit is a Date/Time stamp. Don't know if that's the time you
sent it or the time it arrived at my local server, but I can still
differentiate it from the others. There doesn't seem to be any way to
sort them by date/time though.

Thanks P.J. ... could you elaborate without getting to super techy on
why 4 gig would be constraining on 7 vs XP?
And a question for the class... while I think about it..
I want to save about 20,000 emails from Thunderbird to my external
harddrive - where are they hiding? (the external is a 1t seagate)
