Comments on Importing Outlook Express Emails Into Thunderbird And Evolution
Importing Outlook Express Emails Into Thunderbird And Evolution This tutorial shows how you can import Outlook Express emails, contacts, and account settings into Mozilla Thunderbird and Evolution. This is quite useful if you want to switch from Windows to Linux but don't want to lose your mails and address book. The procedure should be similar if you use Outlook instead of Outlook Express.

I followed the instructions here and they worked very well. However, I had already set up a user in Thunderbird (it was the same email address and user that was imported).
I tried editing the profiles.ini file to point to the new folder but that did not work for some reason. Thunderbird thought that there was another instance running and would not open at all. I ended up just changing the name of the folder that I had brought over from Windows to the one that was already established and it worked great.
After checking the server settings (these did not all come across, or it may have been due to my circumstances of a previous installation) I am sending and receiving mail!

Hay there is a easier way by directly exporting from the outlook.
Just follow the steps at

I am transferring from a windows 2000 computer to a Mac OSX (the Mac email application would not install a stand alone pst file from outlook). I followed the instructions here and I now have all my old emails and addresses in thunderbird on the Mac (I could now easily import from thunderbird into the standard Mac OSX Mail programme if I wished). Thanks a lot. I edited the profiles.ini file in textedit on the Mac rather than via the console. FYI, the profiles on the Mac are stored in Users/username/library/thunderbird/profiles. Thanks Nell
Not surprising, none of that happened and none of what was mentionened even exists.
Hi All,
We just installed latest version of Thunderbird for Windows. However, we are unable to see "Outlook Express" selection on Import Wizard.
Need help
Thank you
