However, the profile switcher extension will let you switch profiles. Thunderbird does not let you switch profiles without exiting, unlike Outlook Expresses identities. Thunderbird doesn't delete a profile when uninstalling, upgrading or re-installing (it is stored in a directory outside of your program directory), but to avoid any risk of accidentally affecting or deleting it as a side effect of an update it is a good idea to back it up before taking such actions. It is a good idea to periodically backup your profile to a safe location. You can also use the Profile Manager to create a profile wherever you want (but don't create it in the Thunderbird program directory) or to delete or rename one. The first time you start Thunderbird it will automatically create a profile in a default location if it does not already exist.
A profile can contain one or more account for mail, RSS, news, etc. Thunderbird stores all personal data such as messages, address books and configuration settings in an OS folder called the profile. See also Profile folder - Firefox and Profile folder - SeaMonkey. So I have very limited email, No diary, no address books, no passwords.This article is about Thunderbird's profile folder.

All were created when TB itself was not loaded so initially I assumed that the problem is with the program itself. Together with my Timeshift snapshots means that I have 5 Timeshift snapshots and 5 data backups. My data backup system keeps the last five days of data, these include the TB profiles.
I am not sure if my problem is an error in the Thunderbird program itself or in my profile. In that sense the backup files are ‘clean’. My data backups, however, are created when all users are logged out so no installed programs are in use. It means I am backing up programs like Thunderbird and Firefox when they are still running and have, for want of a better word, ‘running’ profiles’ a situation I am not happy with but that is a separate matter. Unfortunately my Timeshift snapshots are created at 17:00 Hrs (local time) which is a time of day when my system is still in use. Opening that still resulted in TB asking to set up a new profile as before. I then overwrite the ‘default’ profile in my home folder with a copy of my normal profile files. thunderbird home folder but profile manager did not find it. As suggested, I copied that last profile into the.
