That is simple - you just copy the %appdata%\Thunderbird (on Windows)
folder to the new system.

No fat (desktop) email client is designed to do that. That is what IMAP
is for.

When using IMAP, starting from scratch, is simple (just add the accounts
back in), and as long as you use IMAP on all systems, mail is always in
sync, because all changes happen server side.

Agreed, it should always be a separate install...

One question I have is, in what way(s) could or should TB better
integrate with Libreoffice, other than maybe a simple (e)mail merge
function?
