Mac User: No Thunderbird folder visible in my Library, 2GB of email on HD, hidden where?

I cannot find my Thunderbird profile at all on my HD. I run Mac OS 10.5.5 and Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.21. I read the online Help about T-bird profiles (which supposedly include Mail), but the problem is, when searching my Hard Drive, I cannot find any Thunderbird folders in my Library or Application folders. Only the Thunderbird program shows up. I have over 27,000 emails (more than 2 GB) stored in a folder on my HD, whose name is visible within Thunderbird, but I cannot find the folder on internal HD to back it up on external HD. I am sure the data are on my HD, because I can move messages from my AOL IMAP online folder to my own local HD folder. But I cannot find these messages. Please help. Macs do not have "hidden files" like PCs, do they?

I’m anxious
