Import from Thunderbird, email and contact formats

Norman Durment Messages: 1 Registration: 9/18/2012	#1 9/18/2012 6:50 PM I'm trying to import my Thunderbird emails and contacts into Outlook 2010, but can't seem to find the right source folders.

Outlook Freeware Messages: 323 Registration: 10/22/2007	#2 9/20/2012 9:56 AM Norman, as for emails: you can just export them to EML format and then import to Outlook by using our Import Messages from EML Format tool.

Outlook Freeware: trying to import my Thunderbird emails and contacts into Outlook 2010, but can't seem to find the right source folders.

Thanks for this.

Exporting the Thunderbird .mbx folders to .eml seems like a good idea, and I was reading that each .eml file contains a single email.

Given that I have a 50 root folders in TB, each with 20-30 sub folders, each sometimes with additional sub folders, totaling a lot of emails and complexity, actually doing this is far easier said than done.
I don't see a utility from within TB that will export all to an appropriate directory structure.

But it seems to me that with your expertise, it wouldn't be hard for you to parse an entire TB directory structure for valid email files, and import that directly into outlook 2010.

That being said, I haven't paid anything for your programs, so I'm not really expecting much in the way of getting this problem solved, as it seems to be a TB problem , not a OF problem.

I've used your msg duplicate finder and it worked really well for me.

For importing Thunderbird to Outlook here are two steps Manual process and use of third party tool. In Manual process it takes time and there is always a risk of losing data and data corruption. If you are not technical then it will be a disaster for you. So, I will strongly recommend you to use OutlookFreeware.com MBOX to PST Converter tool for Thunderbird to Outlook migration Process.

Export your messages from Windows Mail in .eml format.
In Thunderbird, create a folder in "Local Folders" to hold your imported mail and select it.
Right click the folder and select ImportExportTools > Import all messages from a directory > also from its subdirectories.
Navigate to the .eml files folder. The default location for Windows Live mail is C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail (or \Windows Mail).
Click Open. Your data will be imported.

Switching from Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail to Thunderbird

Windows Mail is the default mail client included with Windows Vista. Windows Live Mail is the email client bundled with Windows Live Essentials. Both client programs store emails in the .eml file format. In order to export messages from Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail to Thunderbird, you must export messages from the Windows application and import them into Thunderbird. A similar method is needed to export contacts from Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail to Thunderbird.

To find the location of the email files in Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail, go to Tools > Options > Advanced > Maintenance > Store Folder.
If you do not see Tools, try File > Options > Mail… > Advanced > Maintenance… instead.

Importing Windows Mail Contacts
In order to import Windows contacts into Thunderbird, you must export the contacts to vCard files (.vcf format) and import the files into Thunderbird.

In Windows Live Mail, open the Contacts and select all the contacts you wish to export.
Click on Export > Business Card (.VCF).
Select an empty directory to save these to.
In ThunderBird
Click on Address Book.
Click on the address book you wish to import the contacts into.
Click Tools > MoreFunctionsForAddressBook > Actions for Contacts > Import vCard / VCF.
Browse to the folder where you exported your contacts to.
Select all the contacts you wish to import.
Click Open to import all selected contacts.\

I hope this helps!
