I would look in C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local
Settings\Application Data
and look for a Mozilla folder. Before you do this, it is best to go to
Tools>Folder Options>View Tab> and ensure "show hidden files and folders" is

Outlook's .pab file type.
Transport it to /home/<user name>/.mozilla/thunderbird
