Hi,
One of my clients brought me his PC with Windows 7, so I can migrate it
to Linux, e. g. CentOS 7 + KDE. So far I made a backup of all the data,
but I wonder how I can migrate the existing Thunderbird account.
An operation I perform quite regularly is replace an existing Linux
system (Ubuntu, openSUSE, Fedora, whatever) by CentOS. When Thunderbird
is configured, I just backup the whole ~/.thunderbird directory and then
restore it on the new installation, which usually works perfectly. Any
idea if I do this when moving a desktop installation from Windows 7 to
CentOS?
Cheers,

Should work just fine. I was running my computer as a dual-boot with
Windows 7 and Linux Mint for a while. I shared the whole Thunderbird
profile directory with both OS's. As I recall, the only issue was that
the Lightning calendar add-on was OS-specific and would only work on one
of the two unless I re-installed it for whichever OS I was on at the time.
Give it a shot. Most likely, you'll only have to re-install an add-on
or two for the new OS.
