[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1376816, member: 46727"] Well, I guess I was wrong! I just attached my Time Machine drive and looked for the Thunderbird Mail file. Guess what? Time Machine does not backup the "cache" folder. And that's where Thunderbird stores the Mail and News items and folders. I can view both my Thunderbird News and Mail folder from Finder, but it's nowhere to be found in any of my Time Machine backups. Why in the world Thunderbird buries the mail and news folders in the Cache Metadata folder is beyond me. I guess we have to figure out how to backup that folder. I have a backup of it anyway since I also use Carbon Copy Cloner in conjunction with Time Machine to do my backups. [/QUOTE]
