C:\Documents and Settings\psauseda\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ablyl7im.default


If their is numerous profiles you might have to edit this file. "profiles.ini"

[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/ablyl7im.default

I suggest you write a batch file & have it backup daily to your HDD,

backupmail.bat (open notepad)

Below
^Shows where and what you are copying^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^shows where it is copying to^^^^^^^^^^
xcopy /e /v /y "C:\Documents and Settings\psauseda\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook" "z:\Pauls Crap\backupmail"

AS seen in my file--- I copy outlook mail--then it is sent to a network drive. The commands xcopy "copy" and e/ /v /y

/E Copies directories and subdirectories, including empty ones. Same as /S /E. May be used to modify /T.
/V Verifies each new file.
/Y Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an existing destination file.
