You can copy over & use your .claws-mail folder directly.

The only 6 things you will have to do. All 6 are optional:
 1. Load plug-ins again. Applicable only if you've loaded any plugins.
 2. Make sure the "path" in folderlist.xml points to the correct Mail
    folder. This is if you want to move over your current mailbox to
    Windows too. Otherwise you can set this up by using "Add mailbox"
    functionality in the main UI.
 3. Set up fonts again if you've changed them. There are actually
    only 14 settings unique to a Win32 set-up.
 4. in "menurc", change <Primary> to <Control> everywhere. This is
    only needed if you've changed any default key bindings. This is
    needed because Win32 CM uses an older version of GTK+ that still
    refers to Ctrl key as <Control>
 5. Copy over "actionssrc" to "actionswinrc" or set up Actions again.
    Only applicable if you have set up actions in CM.
 6. Update path to signatures in your defined accounts. This is only
    applicable if you've set up account specific signatures.

Have fun! :)
