I'd consider using a FAT file system for anything as critical as email storage to be a pretty poor choice. FAT file systems are fragile (and wasteful, which could be an issue if you're using maildir format for storing messages).
Other way: Use ext3 and mount it in Windows by using fs-driver.org

ext3? might be ext2 only [with stable release - if possible] But, FAT is a safe & harmless choice, natively supported in both OS. I use XP * Suse10.1 with Thunderbird 1.5 release in XP and Suse. I have to use a dual boot Laptop, so I am using in this style for last 2 years without any email problem - till now. FAT is safe, for XP - it is a safe and stable option, but one has to ensure safe shutdown and good power management - which is not a big problem now a days. Thanks and regards, Saugata.
