There must be a way to save/export/import Thunderbirds email files

Every six months or so I lose all the mail when I upgrade Fedora and
reinstall Thunderbirds,

I usually have two Fedora computers as is the case now. I would like
to move the mail from the F-11 box to the new F-12 installation on a
second computer. The Thunderbirds mail import function looks for
something in "Communicator 4x" or some such thing but is very
inflexible. "Communicator 4x" doesn't exist on any of my computers!

Is there a known working procedure to accomplish this. I routinely
transfer files between them via sftp and nfs. But those mail files
defy all my attempts.

Any help appreciated.

I just move the ~/.thunderbird directory from install to install. All the relevant files are there.
