Dual boot, same email.

[Dougal]

Has anyone tried this:

Dual boot, XP and linux.
One set of email files which can be accessed from either using thunderbird.

You simply need to copy your Thunderbird profile to a shared drive (well, one that is accessible by both operating systems) and update your Thunderbirds' config with the new profile path.

You'll find simple how-tos with a quick Google search. Eg: Sharing Profiles (email, Extensions, Themes, And Bookmarks) For Firefox And Thunderbird - BestTechie Forums (http://www.besttechie.net/forums/Sharing-Profiles-email-Extensions-Themes-And-Bookmarks-For-Firefox-And-Thunderbird-t8600.html)
