1342018 2013-05-19 23:54:00 Hi, I have been using Win 8 but have changed over to Linux Mint which I am finding pretty good. I was using Ubuntu but it's been a bit buggy on my laptop. Is there an easy way to bring all my emails and address book over from Win 8 Thunderbird to Mint Thunderbird?
I use Mozbackup but I don't think there is a Linux version.
Thanks,

Basically you can just copy the files across and it'll migrate your messages etc :) I've done it a few times, but not for quite a while.

This may help:
