Can anyone tell me the best way to transfer mail and address book from Mozilla thunderbird to MS outlook
 
The way I did it was to send myself an email and attach all my thunderbird messages to it. Worked a treat.
 
This is what I used - mbox2eml:

You basically have to open up each of the Thunderbird mbox files in the app (one for each folder - Inbox, Sent Items, etc) and it will export them to multiple .eml files (one for each email message). The mbox files are located in your profile folder, by default.
Once you have the .eml files, open up Outlook Express, select all the .eml files in Explorer, and drag-and-drop them into the Inbox folder in OE.
Finally, you can use Outlook's import wizard to import mail from Outlook Express.

It's a multi-step process, but it works. :)

There are a couple of alternate methods here:

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
