yup, Jim is right, just as easy as copying .thunderbird from /home for
those who didn't put /home in a separate partition as you did Matt.

I have evolution once... was a nightmare move... hated it!!  messages
moved easier than contacts, that's for sure.  I'm glad you don't have
to deal with evolution.
