Had a direct need to get out of thunderbird and get back to Outlook. Too many problems with Timestamps, Dissapearing e-mail, and the spam filter breaking all the time on thunderbird. Thought this might help since I couldnt find directions anywhere on this.
Found this its free. http://people.freenet.de/ukrebs/mbox2eml.html
Point it to the Thunderbird files that have no Extension. Not the MSF files.
Example
C:\Documents and Settings\Profiles\Mitchell\Thunderbird\INBOX\Inbox
It will create EML files for each mail message so put them in some sort of temp directory with subfolders similar to what you had in Thunderbird.
Open Outlook Express and Create Sub Folders like you had in e-mail.
Drag and drop the EML files into the correct folder.
Export the folders from Outlook Express and Import them into Regular Outlook.
This is pretty pathetic that Microsoft still doesn't have an import filter for converting Thunderbird to Outlook. What are they thinking? If they ignore Thunderbird it will go away? With so many people using thunderbird Microsoft needs to get their act together. Morons.
