# Setting up your Disroot account
The first time you run **Thunderbird**, you will be greeted by the account setup. Select **Skip this and use my existing email** to configure your Disroot account.<br>
If you are already using **Thunderbird** then you can select "**Email**" in the root view.

- **Your name:** *Name that will be displayed in the* "From" *field*
![](en/tb_setup_name.png)
- **Email address:** *your_username @ disroot.org*
![](en/tb_setup_email.png)
- **Password:** *your_super_secret_password*
- **Remember Password:** If you want **Thunderbird** to remember your password and not prompt you for it every time you start the client, then check this option.
![](en/tb_setup_pass.png)
- Click on the "**Continue**" button once you are done and verified everything is correct.
![](en/tb_setup_03.png)

# Exporting / Importing emails
**Thunderbird** does not offer native backup tools so you have to do it manually or through an add-on.
## Manual procedure
Manual mail backup is nothing more than copying a directory to another location. **Thunderbird** stores settings and mails in a directory it calls "profile".
To find your "profile":
![](en/tb_manual_backup.mp4?resize=1024,576&loop)
1. click **Help** in the menu bar;
2. from the **Help** menu select **Troubleshooting Information**;
3. under **Application Basics** look for **Profile Directory** and click on **Open Directory**;
4. the file manager will open at the location of the profile directory.
![](en/profile_folder.png)
Now you can make a backup of the entire profile or just the mails. To do this simply copy the folder to the backup location. All mails from IMAP accounts are located in the **ImapMail** folder.
## Backup using the Import/Export Tools add-on
Both the add-on installation and the process of exporting the emails are quite simple.
### Installing the ImportExportTools add-on
* Run **Thunderbird**
* Go to **Tools** at the Menu bar and select **Add-ons**
* In the add-ons search field type _import export tools_ and then press enter
* Find **ImportExportTools NG**, a small **GPL** software that add import/export tools.
* Click on **Add to Thunderbird**
* After installing and giving the necessary permissions for the add-on, you are now ready to back up all your emails.
![](en/export_tool.mp4?resize=1024,576&loop)
This add-on adds a new menu item in the **Tools** and the context menues.
### Exporting your emails
In **Thunderbird**, select a folder o directory you want to back up and right click.
The import/export tool submenu displays a number of actions which you can peform to import or export various types of information into and out of **Thunderbird**.
![](en/import_export_tool.png)
You can export:
* Individual folders and/or all folder messages (EML, HTML, PDF, CSV or plaintext)
* Export as individual files or a single file
* Export indexes as plain text or CSV
* Export messages from search dialog
* Export complete profiles or just the emails files
And import:
* Mailbox files (Mbox files including the structures)
* Profiles
* EML and EMLX files
* Individual or all directory files
