---+ Thunderbird

Everything should be in =c:\Documents and Settings\userid\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\= - generally there will be another subdirectory called =default= under that.  Thunderbird will generate a unique salt for your userid each time you create a new profile.  Everything will be in a directory that's called something like =weh2qlqe.slt= where the first part of the filename differs from user profile to user profile.  Simply copying this entire directory should be sufficient, although copying Chrome and Extensions around between different versions of Thunderbird can be dangerous.
