I've done this loads of times, TBird usually imports 100% accurately, 
the fiddly bit is transferring a profile from TBird to Evolution (if you 
should feel the need).

If your XP partition is still mountable, line of least resistance is 
probably to do the  installation from the live CD and import your 
Outlook Express automatically as part of the process. If that doesn't 
work, I suspect TBird will happily import the addressbook and mails 
separately just from their files.  Tools -> import
