How to Convert Mozilla Thunderbird mailbox data to MS Outlook:-
There are two techniques available to migrate Thunderbird to MS Outlook email client and we will discuss both methods one by one with the result:-
A:-Manual Process:-
1:- In this process, we need an additional email client named Eudora. Because MS Outlook allows importing Eudora mailbox in PST format.
2:-Now, First of all, go to Mozilla Thunderbird file default location and copy the mailbox data.
3:-After that go to Eudora default location and Paste Mozilla TB mailbox data and change the file extension in .mbx.
4:- Now run MS Outlook application >> Select file option>> Go to “Import and export option”>>
5:-Choose “Import Internet Mail and addresses” then hit the next button >> Select “Eudora (pro and light) 2x, 3x, 4x” and press next option >> Browse Eudora file location & choose the MBX file then hit the Next button.
6:-Select the destination, where you want to import mailbox data in PST format and click the finish option.
Result
If you have some MB data in the TB mailbox, then this method is better for you because it is a combination of several steps. Which causes data loss, damage or inaccessible.
