Can terminal be used to find where Thunderbird keeps email files?
1 Answer
I think you need Google, not terminal ;) Mozilla KB says it will be one of these:
~/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/<Profile name>/
~/Library/Application Support/Thunderbird/Profiles/<Profile name>/
~
is your Home folder.
For finding files from terminal you may use the tool called find
. A quick cheat sheet:
find [path] [-maxdepth depth] [-ctime n] [-size n[ckMG]] [-type type] [-perm permissions] [-exec command {} \;]
(these are just basic arguments, find
is really powerful)

+1 for the first sentence - it made me laugh - and then for answering the question anyway. Mar 9, 2013 at 14:49
