It should be able to copy your whole profile. When you re-install Mozilla just go to the profile manager, create a new profile and select the directory where the folder of your profile is in.
So if your profile is at d:\MozillaProfiles\brankob\ then you should select d:\MozillaProfiles\ and name your profile brankob

In your shiny new installation, set up your mail accounts as if you were doing it for the first time. Then close Mozilla and copy over your mail folder files (just the extensionless ones, not the .msf ones) to the appropriate place in your new profile. Restart Mozilla and all should be well.
If it isn't, I hope you kept backups.
