- Thunderbird Help
Mozilla Thunderbird stores all your personal settings, such as your mail, passwords and extensions, in a profile. The profile is stored on your hard drive in a profile folder.
If you run into problems using Thunderbird (e.g. problems starting after installing an extension, or other features not functioning properly), the first thing you're usually asked to do in the tech support forum is to create a new profile. This tutorial will not only show you how to do that, but also how to create backups and move or restore existing profiles.

Locate your profile folder
Knowing where your profile folder is stored can be useful if, for example, you want to make a backup of your personal data.
- On Windows Vista/XP/2000, the path is usually
%AppData%ThunderbirdProfilesxxxxxxxx.default
, where xxxxxxxx is a random string of 8 characters. Just browse toC:Documents and Settings[User Name]Application DataThunderbirdProfiles
on Windows XP/2000 orC:users[User Name]AppDataRoamingThunderbirdProfiles
on Windows Vista, and the rest should be obvious. - On Windows 95/98/Me, the path is usually
C:WINDOWSApplication DataMozillaThunderbirdProfilesxxxxxxxx.default
- On Linux, the path is usually
~/.thunderbird/xxxxxxxx.default/
- On Mac OS X, the path is usually
~/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/xxxxxxxx.default/
%AppData% is a shorthand for the Application Data path on Windows 2000/XP/Vista. To use it, click Start > Run... (use the search box on Vista), enter %AppData% and press Enter. You will be taken to the 'real' folder, which is normally C:Documents and Settings[User Name]Application Data
on Windows XP/2000, C:users[User Name]AppDataRoaming
on Windows Vista.
Create a new profile
The screenshots are from Firefox, but the appearance is the same in Thunderbird.
In order to create a new profile, you use the Profile Manager. To start the Profile Manager in Windows, follow these steps:
- Close Thunderbird completely (select File > Exit from the main menu of Thunderbird).
- Select Start > Run... from the Windows Start menu (use the search box on Vista).
- Enter
thunderbird.exe -ProfileManager
and press .
On Mac OS X, hold down the Option key and double click the Thunderbird icon.
On Linux, start Thunderbird with the the -profilemanager switch, e.g. ./thunderbird -ProfileManager
(this assumes that you're in the Thunderbird directory).
You should now see the Profile Manager window, shown in the screenshot to the right.
From the Profile Manager you are also able to remove and rename profiles.
Click on the button to start the Create Profile Wizard. Click and enter the name of the profile, e.g. your name or something descriptive.
You can also choose where on the disk you want the profile to be stored, which is useful if you plan on exporting your settings to another computer or setup in the future.
Finally, click to have Thunderbird create the new profile.
You should now be taken back to the Profile Manager and the newly created profile should be listed. Select it and click . That's it!You are now running Thunderbird with the new profile, which means all settings are reset to default. If you want to switch back to your old profile, just start the Profile Manager again (instructions above) and select the old profile.
You can also have Thunderbird start a selected profile automatically, so you don't have to pick one each time the browser is launched. Do this by checking the Don't ask at startup option.
Backing up your profile

C:Documents and Settings[username]ApplicationDataThunderbirdProfilesxxxxxxxx.default
toD:StuffMyMailProfile
