Email recovery from Thunderbird

So I have in my hands a harddrive that was until this afternoon in my Dad's computer. He was upgrading from Win2k to XP Pro when everything crapped out on him. The install won't get past a certain point, and it won't boot 2k anymore. I booted up the old Slax CD (like Knoppix but Slackware based) and got everything important out of his Documents folder. All I have left to recover before I can wipe it clean and start fresh is his (and mom's) emails. I had them using Thunderbird, and I assume that they are stored somewhere in /Documents and Settings/HisUserName/, but I haven't found them yet. Anyone know offhand exactly where they are and how he would go about restoring them to a fresh install?
