Get Thunderbird Email Messages Into Outlook

Since Mozilla Thunderbird has no function for exporting emails, getting your messages into another program is challenging. This method retains the original sender and send date information.

Steps

1. Open Reduce the Size of Your Thunderbird Mail Folder.
2. Select the messages you want to export to Outlook. How many you can export will depend on the size of each message and its attachments as well as the capability of your Internet connection and provider.
3. After selecting the messages, right click and select "Forward as Attachments." A new mail message will open up with the email messages you selected as attachments. Enter the email address you are using with Outlook and press send.
4. Open Add an Email Account to Older Versions of Microsoft Outlook and click Send and Receive.
5. Open the email containing the email message attachments and move this active window down a bit on your screen so you can see your main inbox area in Outlook.
6. Select all the email attachments in the message and drag them from the active email into your Outlook Inbox folder, or whichever folder you wish to have them in.

Tips

• Make sure that you have disabled auto send/receive in Thunderbird before you start, or you may end up receiving messages you want to get in Outlook in you Thunderbird program.
