Windows has gotten better in this regard, that is true.
But it's still bizarre that, with Thunderbird, you can export/import the
address book, but not the mail database.
A welcome improvement would be to have a button to export/import the
whole farkin' thing.
Instead, when I installed TB on my laptop, I had to open the account
settings on my desktop, and screen by screen, manually copy the data
into my laptop TB install. A long and tedious and error-prone process,
as there are endless screens and config settings.
Copying the thunderbird profile directory should do the trick:

I've suffered trying to figure out that page many times. It's exactly why a
button is needed.
