MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / March 2008Coming back to Outlook from Thunderbird
About a month ago, I switched from Outlook to Thunderbird, but have found that Outlook is a much better mail program. I have dozens of Emails in TB that need to be imported into Outlook. TB support says that the easiest way to do it is to save each file as a .eml file and then import them into Outlook. Outlook, however, doesn't seem to have the ability to import this file type. Is there anything I can do to move these Emails without having to forward them all? -Tracy Forgot to mention that it's Outlook 2003. > About a month ago, I switched from Outlook to Thunderbird, but have found > that Outlook is a much better mail program.

However, I'm afraid I don't understand the message with "OE", nor can I (as I think it is suggested) take all my messages one by one. I also tried to download IE2I with no success. I would really appreciate any help anyone can give me. > this is a particularly vital topic for me, as I am migrating to Outlook > after ten years of Eudora and Thunderbird, and have thousands of messages [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > I would really appreciate any help anyone can give me. Well if you have Eudora, Outlook will import messages direct from Eudora.... Eudora went the way of all good things, which is why I moved to Thunderbird. I therefore no longer have Eudora. I did try, however, to get it back and load Thunderbird messages to Eudora, but with no luck there either. save the messages as eml then drag and drop into OE folders. Then export from OE to Outlook.

The description of this download is "Allows conversion of MAIL folders from Outlook Express 5 to standard MBX file format used by Eudora." However, I don't need to export my Outlook to another program. I need to go FROM Thunderbird TO Outlook. Any thoughts? -Tracy > > About a month ago, I switched from Outlook to Thunderbird, but have found > > that Outlook is a much better mail program.
