one can export/import/backup the message filters but it's more involved than it should be.

the message filters are in single files within your home directory. their path is

[code language="bash"]
~/.thunderbird/<profileStr>/ImapMail/<mailAcc>/msgFilterRules.dat
[/code]

For example

[code language="bash"]
~/.thunderbird/asdbasbdas.default/ImapMail/mail.yahoo.ru/msgFilterRules.dat
[/code]
