Not sure if this is what your looking for but this is how I backup my
mozilla mail folder. You have to be in your home directory and select
show hidden files and then drill down to your Local Folders which has
all your mail folders.
file:/home/maurice/.mozilla/default/69maeurh.slt/Mail/Local Folders
note! your .slt folder will probably have a different name than mine.
hope this helps. I backup my local folder and when I install a new
system I set up my mozilla mail account and overwrite the local folder
with mybackup and everything is there.
