all of your account info is in the prefs.js file.. that will give you
some idea..

here is a google hit for filters:
https://raymii.org/s/tutorials/Thunderbird_Back_Up_Mail__Message_Filters.html

The file is named |msgFilterRules.dat|

To back up all the filters, do the following:

  * Close all instances of Thunderbird
  * Copy the file |msgFilterRules.dat| to a backup location.

To restore the file, to the following:

  * Close all instances of Thunderbird
  * Copy the file |msgFilterRules.dat| back into your (possibly new)
    profile folder

Under any normal Linux distro the path probably is like this:

|/home/<username>/.thunderbird/Profiles/<profile>/ImapMail/<mailserver>/msgFilterRules.dat
|
