Hello.
Yes, is right default location in personal settings.
Thunderbird:
Run Thundebird, choise the root of mailbox folder and right click. In dropdown menu select "Properties..." and see the "Local folder"
Email Extractor:
Run Email Extractor, choise the Mailbox Manager. In main menu select File\Add Mailbox File, select Thunderbird mailbox file why you need to work with.

When I follow this procedure the Mailbox Manager shows the folder as empty (it isn't). The path I use is:
C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\qsctkl0k.default\Mail\Local Folders
which is the folder specified in Thunderbird properties for the 'Local Folders' folder. OS is Vista.
When I try an extract on this ('empty') mailbox it says there are no emails to extract, not surprising. Are Thunderbird folders accessible when using the demo version?
By the way, I have also tried specifying a sub-folder a few levels down from Local Folders and it shows that folder as empty too.
