So the best way to backup your mails from Thunderbird is to copy your complete profile directory. Follow these steps for restoring your mail. The fool that I am, instead of copying the full profile directory I ended up backing up just the Mail subdirectory in the profile directory. It took me a while to [...]

The other way to save and quit is to go to the command mode and hit shift+z+z.
