Internal
Installation
Homebrew
Needs cask support to be installed.
Then:
brew cask install thunderbird
Configuration
Local Mail Storage
IMAP Storage
/Users/<username>/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/<profile-id>.default/ImapMail/<imap-account-name>/<IMAP-subfolders>
Local Directory
/Users/<username>/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/<profile-id>.default/Mail/Local Folders
Cache
/Users/<username>/Library/Caches/Thunderbird
Cleanup
Locate the local e-mail storage for each account (Tools → Account Settings → Account → Server Settings → Local Directory) and write it down.
Remove each one of them. The entire /Users/<username>/Library/Thunderbird can be removed if Thunderbird is removed from the system.
Also remove /Users/<username>/Library/Caches/Thunderbird.
Uninstall Thunderbird: Open the Applications folder and click and drag the Thunderbird icon to Trash. Note that uninstalling it this way does NOT clean up the profiles stored in ~/Library/Thunderbird.
