  There's a profile folder for thunderbird. I believe all you need to do 
is copy it to the .thunderbird folder in your home directory. If you're 
using something like nautilus or nemo, you'll need to checkmark "show 
hidden files"in the "view" section. If .thunderbird isn't showing up 
then run it at least once and then copy over the profile directory, 
which is usually something.default.
