yes, and i presume that if he knows exactly what he is doing he would not need to ask, and so it is most likely not the case and *dangerous* do omve folders and files around hence if it is me i have no problem to merge 20 thunderbird profiles within 20 minutes without lose any message, but not the average user and so my idea is * look what are more messages * look how much messages are the lesser ones * look if you can move them away from your profile * look that you have an idea how bring them back to your profile hence, you can even move the files/folder from "Mail/Local Folders" in case of POP3 accounts, but you need to be careful not overwrite things and most likely rename files and folders if we are at these details: delete all the .msf files which are only the indexes to not need rename *two* files which are "foldername" and "foldername.msf" so technically it is really really easy but how to explain it to the ordinary users not understanding the profile-structure beause *that* is the hard thing?
