On my system also, all the email is stored in ~/.mozilla-thunderbird

My profiles.ini file is
$cat .mozilla-thunderbird/profiles.ini
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=bafaowsk.default
Default=1
Looks correct to me except the "Default=1" line. What does it do?
If you have multiple profiles, the Default=1 is the one that is used
if you don't specify otherwise. To do that, set StartWithLastProfile
to 0 and it will ask you the profile to use when starting.
You haven't mentioned what error message, if any, you are getting.
http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/profile has info on backing
up and restoring thunderbird profiles. Maybe something there might
help.
