easiest way:

copy ~/.mozilla and ~/.thunderbird from old install to a usb memory
stick.

next, rename new ~/.mozilla and ~/.thunderbird to *.org or what ever
churns your butter.

last, copy ~/.mozilla and ~/.thunderbird from usb memory stick into
your new home directory.

if on same boxen, just copy paths from old install into new install.

hth.

do you have need or concern for backing up the directories? i use a
quick and easy way.
