Over the past few years since Mozilla software was rebranded in Debian, I made numerous switched/migrations to different distros (i.e Fedora, Ubuntu). And from those same distros back to Debian.
And from my personal experience, every time I did this to get Icedove migrated to Thunderbird, I would just rename ~/.icedove to ~/.thunderbird. Same thing was with moving from Thunderbird to Icedove (rename ~/.thunderbird to ~/.icedove). Please note that I use Icedove/Thunderbird to the fullest, I have numerous addons/filters/labels/settings changes, and every time everything was migrated without a hitch.
