I have TB on XP. I added Linux Mint as a dual boot. Can I use the XP document store with the Linux version of TB? TIA

XP has been running for years and has a lot of documents and history in the Thunderbird folders. Linux Mint was installed on a different physical drive. Can I point the Linux version Thunderbird to the XP data directory and use both XP and Linux versions of Thunderbird with one set of data files?

I'd rather move the entire profile to Linux.

Thank you for the suggestions. After thinking about the issue some more, I realized I only want to keep XP until I figure out how to do everything in Linux. The original question was actually the wrong question. I copied the profile data from XP to Linux, modified the profiles.ini file to remove a Windows directory reference, and it worked. Thanks again!
