[CLUE-Tech] Mozilla-mail backup?

[Evan Widger]

as far as i know (from thunderbird/fire* experience) mail is saved on a 
per user level in  ~/.mozilla (or something like that, i know it's 
~/.thunderbird for tb) and backing up that dir should save all your 
settings and bookmarks and mail. copying it back after reinstalling moz 
shouldn't be a problem, i know i just copied my windows thunderbird 
maildir  to linux with minimal effort.
