In my desktop pc i have two different drives. The one is for my Windows OS and the other is for kubuntu. I have installed to both OS thunderbird and use different profiles. Is there a way to use only one profile for both OS? For example can i use the kubuntu's profile to windows or the other way around? In that way i want to synchronize my emails in both OS..

Did you chase down all the info @ mozilla on this?
As part of it, you might check into ways to leave mail at the server vs alternatives.

Re: Common thunderbird profile in Linux and Windows
Yes Qqmike, i know the issue of how to back up profiles. What i want to do is to avoid copying all the time the profile folder from kubuntu to windows and vice versa in order to keep my mails synchronised in both OS. What i want is to use ONE COMMON profile folder for both OS. Is that possible??Comment

Re: Common thunderbird profile in Linux and Windows
I have something like that: windows in my work and my laptop, kubuntu in my desktop I use one e-mail account with thunderbird, which I've installed in a pen drive (portable apps, a free windows software) - I open it in the windows (as portable apps), and I use this portable thunderbird with Wine in my kubuntu.
It works fine.Comment

Re: Common thunderbird profile in Linux and Windows
You can start Thunderbird with the profile option.
thunderbird -profile /path/to/profile
This works for sharing a profile in win and lin. (Also works if you use the win portable app on a thumbdrive so that you can access it from linux - though wine also works)
