There should be an export feature for your mail under the File menu. Then simply use the import function on the other client when you move the file.

If you want to save your account settings, you may have to move the profile folder over as well (if there's not an export function for that).

The third link looks to be the most useful:

If that doesn't help, try googling for something along the lines of: thunderbird migrate windows to linux

And here's how to share it/move it between Windows and Linux : http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sharing_a_...dows_and_Linux
