that is one of the reasons I use Thunderbird: I can use for both
Windows and SuSE

something like this
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application 
Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\mawjqit3.default\Mail\accountnamehere

In my case I keep the data in a different place that is available to
either the Windows or SuSE.  James, If you have it some other place
besides the default, just go to Tools, Account Settings, Server
Settings.  near the bottom is Local Directory: with a browse
button you can use to change the setting to wherever your files
are.  If you don't see the Local Directory: then you are probably
seeing a bug with Thunderbird.  Stretch the window size vertically
to make Local Directory appear.
