I have Thundedrbird up and running. It's great, it imported all my Outlook messages. however, I have another Windows Mail account, on Vista. I would like to import my old messages into Thunderbird. (It gets the new messages OK).

What I've done so far: exported the old Windows Mail messages in EML format, and copied them to Zorin in Documents. I now need to get them into Thunderbird.

Thanks, Michael

Hi, please take a look at this thread:

and also check whether Thunderbird has 'Import/Export' extensions available:

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I was able to find the latest version of the import/export tool and successfully imported the emails. What a great tool!
