Thunderbird mailbox location


I am using Thunderbird 1.5.0.5 on Centos 4.3, and despite my best efforts I cannot find the mailbox location so that I can back it up!! I am running as a single user, desktop installation.

It's in a hidden file. In a terminal, ls -a to see all the files. In the GUI, there is an option somewhere in the file manager menus.
The (hidden) folder will be in your HOME directory and willl be name .thunderbird or .mozilla-thunderbird
