Thunderbird on Windows and Linux-Mint on the same dual boot computer

SuMo Bot

I am using both Windows and Linux on the same computer and on both I use Thunderbird. Is there a way to use the same directory in Windows 10 on Linux (Mint in this case) ? Is the structure of users directory equal for both? I am using the IMAP protocol, thus the mails are the same, and it is not really a problem when I am using W or L, but is this possible?

I had a similar question for DropBox and was told that using the same "directory" was not possible between Windows and Linux. Linux required a "Linux" format to work. I was pointing to an e:/DATA format in NTFS
