LS,
I am still using Leap 15.2 due to all the negative messages about 15.3.

Thunderbird can share the _mail_ directories, at least unless there has been some important change in the versions. Notice that I say the mail directories, not the configuration directories. This need some playing with symlinks.
Besides that, you can instead run your own local imap server (same computer or different), and store the mail in there, not locally in Thunderbird. As an advantage, you can use any mail client.
Huh, of course, there could be a difference in mail storage across versions in the imap server itself, dunno. In that case, put it in another computer.
I use dovecot for that usage.

Ah, it seems that TB has been replaced, just as the link on the desktop. Thereby destroying my change by adding the flag --allow-downgrade. Just added it again and now it works again. @Carlos, your right about the emails itself - I use my own imap server -, but using filters and address book requires local storage. I do not store messages locally. -- Frans.
