I am running several Linux distributions on my machine - Debian

Is there a way to reliably share the mail data in Thunderbird ?
When I point the <hidden> .thunderbird directory on another
partition via a symlink to the one on the Debian Sid partition, the
mail directories get re-written when T'bird closes to reflect the
fact the Debian parition is mounted as /media/sda2. If I tell
Thunderbird on another partition to load its profile from the
Debian partition it still seems to read and write mail from the
.thunderbird directory on the partition it was run fromt.
I am looking for a way to tell T'bird to only deal with the
.thunderbird directory on Debian sid, no matter which partition it
is run from.
Googling the problem only seems to turn up help to share data
between Linux and Windows..not between Linux and Linux.
Why don't you store your emails on an imap server? Maybe I didn't
catch it...
