Can the forum recommend a plug-in/application that will backup Thunderbird automatically when the application is closed.
Thank you.

Tb AutoSave might do what you want ..to a degree anyway. It doesn't back up e-mails on closing ThunderBird. It automatically backs up e-mails to a folder as they arrive. It therefore wouldn't automatically back up those e-mails that were there before installing Tb AutoSave. However, the extension does put a couple of convenient commands in the right-click menu that would make that easy enough.
This is an old extension that hasn't been updated to work with TB 2.x. It does work if you open up the 'install.rdf' file and bump up the 'maxVersion' though. I know this because I've tried it. Install.rdf is located inside the downloaded .xpi file. Open the file with Winrar (or similar) and then open install.rdf (it will open in Notepad). Make the maxVersion line (3rd up from bottom) look like this:
<em:maxVersion>2.0+</em:maxVersion>
Close the file and save when prompted. Then install the extension and set it up via its options.
If you don't want to do that, the MR Tech Local Install extension could be installed first. This extension can bump extension version numbers up automatically. Installing it to do this one operation on one file might be considered more than is necessay though.

Try the extension FEBE - it backs up Browsers & eMailers. It also has a scheduler.
