If you have transferred all your emails and contacts to Thunderbird (and it is working OK) then it is relatively simple to transfer (or backup) your profile to a different location. Take a look at this link to see how to do that.

On Linux (once you installed Thunderbird) fire it up just once then close it. This will create the /home//.thunderbird folder in your home folder.
This is hidden by default, so use CTRL+H to show up in the file manager. Locate and then replace the profile folder (the one with funny letter and number combinations) with your backup from XP.

thank you

solved
