Thunderbird is very easy I your home folder their is
a .mozilla-thunderbird  folder (eg ~/.mozilla-thunderbird ) 
in that folder is more folders which contain your entire email profile 
Copy everything in there make sure thunderbird isn't running.

Reinstall ubuntu install thunderbird, run thunderbird once to create
the .mozilla-thunderbird folder then copy data from orginal thunderbird
install. 

This method works for moving thunderbird profiles between computers or
in my case off a windows install.
