It's probably easier to use scp for copying the entire directory. The
syntax is something like this:
scp -r $USERNAME@$REMOTEHOST:.thunderbird/05puurvg.default/Mail/ .
The -r means recursively copy. This will copy the Mail dir from
$REMOTEHOST to the current directory on the local host. If your
username is the same on both systems, you can leave off the $USERNAME@
part.
