Peace And Tranquility With Mozilla Thunderbird

Over the weekend I switched from Mozilla to Firefox and Thunderbird, the separate web and email programs from, well, Mozilla. I do prefer the integrated design of Mozilla, but Firefox and Thunderbird are sufficiently ahead in functionality that the switch was worthwhile.

Except for the minor fact that I've stopped getting 90% of my email, which is somehow - I haven't quite worked this out yet - ending up in Mozilla, even though it isn't running! At least it's peaceful this way.

Update: Worked it out. Answer: I'm an idiot. Big surprise.

1 I installed Thunderbird and want to use it. What's stopping me is that there doesn't seem to be a legit way to backup emails. I think I've found the data files, but I don't want to rely on reverse engineering for something so important! Am I missing something?

2 Hmm. That's interesting. I don't like 'integrated'. I'm quite happy having an e-mail program, and about 5 different browsers (4 of which I use for testing) and an IRC program and an FTP program and... (you get the idea). I've found that I can never get exactly what I want in a 'does-it-all' program.
