Thunderbird share account/profile mounted on NTFS volume with Linux and Win10 ?
I recently installed Linux Mint on a separate SSD on my Win10 PC and have now a dual boot environment.
Linux can access (r/w) all windows drives.
It should be possible via TB profile manager to access the TB profile on the windows partition.
My question: Are there any known incompatibilities between TB on Linux and Windows ? I don't want to end up having problems with the Windows installation of TB when trying to set this up.

I have not shared a single profile in a dual-boot setup, but I did boot into linux and copied the windows profile into the .thunderbird folder with no problems. There should be no difficulties, since Thunderbird does not use Windows registry.
I am hesitant because I had some troubles in the past when copying TB profiles from Win10 to macOS. As it was only a copy no big deal but when this happens on the main TB profile that would be rather time consuming to fix ...

There are still hard-coded paths in the preferences and settings, so ye there are issues with sharing a single profile.

I would think you will have issues with both Linux and Windows in this scenario. I do not recommend it unless you like chasing odd quirks.
