Why would you need to? If your mail store is IMAP, just let it rebuild.
I don't store email on the server, I store it locally.
I gave that up years ago when I ended up with more than one device. Too much

laptop, desktop, and several kiosk machines around the house (because how else

I know, it's a pain. On the other hand, I don't feel the need to write emails
when I'm about town. Generally, only when I'm on a trip is this a problem, and
my email client then is set to not automatically delete email from the server
when downloaded.
scp -rp ~/.thunderbird <target machine>
will shove your whole TB directory to the new box.
Doesn't work on Windows.
Why not? The directory may be different, but the philosophy should still hold.
Just install ssh/sshd from cygwin and you're set.
It's different on every machine was my point. Again, though, the address book

specific instructions for each OS.
