A pain-free way, as to (de)installation itself, would be something like
this...
Copy your mail databases (usually the folder "Mail") somewhere on D:
drive.
Deinstall the old TB.
Install the new TB (and tell it where the mail database is).
***
The rest of the happenings is not necessarily pain-free though, so if
you have some more complex/specific filtering system or similar, it's
good then to do another copy of your "Mail" folder ("just in case"),
since "automatic" transfer into the new filtering systems and file
formats, coming with version 3, will not work always, so the pain might
be present woohoo.[1]
