Ok, back to Topic :-)
A friend of mine made a reinstall and saved all his profiles.
Meaning he saved his .X directorys from his home directory.
He didnt complain about losing anything, so i think everything
went fine and he didnt lose his mails.
But i cant tell for sure.
Never used thunderbird.

A quick google search gave me this:

Backing up your profile folder in Thunderbird is easy. Just follow these steps 
(which assumes you know how to manage files on your computer):
Shut down Thunderbird completely (File > Exit).
Make a copy of your profile folder to, for example, a CD-RW disc or a separate 
hard disk for backup purposes.

So i asume its enough to burn your profile folder.
