Even after downgrading to version 31, I could not get it to work. The below method did work after some trial and error.First, we need to export the emails from Outlook in the correct format. MailStore Home. Download and install. Open MailStore Home. Click on Archive E-mail. Select Microsoft Outlook under E-mail Clients.
Double-click Microsoft Outlook which is now under Saved Profiles. This will run the backup and process each email. Click on Export E-mail. Click on Directory (File System) under E-mail Files.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a way to drag and drop the entire folder but this method did the trick. Move Folders. Under your account, right click and select New Folder. Type in the folder name. Under Local Folders, go into the matching folder. Click on the first email, then hold shift and press End.
This will select all emails. Drag and drop all the emails into the New Folder under your account at the top. Do this process for each folder.Since the move, Thunderbird has been an amazing tool. The search features have really helped me stay organized and find past emails within seconds. I’m also happy to report that I don’t have to change my font from the default Outlook blue each time.If you can make it through the export and import from Outlook, I highly recommend Mozilla Thunderbird as your next email client. Great resource!
I successfully made my switch from Outlook 2016 to Thunderbird following your steps. Here’s a couple of minor comments:1. My Thunderbird (45.2) has the path to Account settings / Server settings in Options, rather than Tools2. I found that creating the target folder for ImportExport, and ensuring it was selected before starting the import, directed the tool to deliver the import to that folder (saving the extensive drag and drop in your final step). I tried it with a single folder (later deleted) to check the import would go to where I wanted it before committing to the full import.Excellent blog page – thanks!. LuisRogers3:26 am on.
