How to import Thunderbird Mail to Outlook for Mac or Windows?

Worried about import Thunderbird Mail to Outlook for Windows or Mac? You should be, in a sense, because of all the sloppy solutions that claim to do it right but don't. But there's a better solution that you can get right now and forget about all the worries about the job that you might be having like partial fragmented files or integrity damage.

How to Import Thunderbird Mail to Outlook

Anyone who undergoes a shift or changeover in the services they were using has countless worries about the entire process. It’s not just changing the service but the migration of all the goods, data, information that was associated with the previous service provider.

It’s not any different with the switch between email clients. And one of those changeovers can be particular demanding because of no common data file between them that they share, and that’s the one that we are talking about here.

Import Thunderbird Mail to Outlook for Mac and Windows

Even though both clients are for Mac / Windows operating system, they both use separate formats for storing data, and those formats are not similar to each other in any way. Thunderbird uses EML files inside its SBD directory and Outlook uses PST. (Note: Mac Outlook stores it data in OLM file format, but can import PST file).

This difference and incompatibility can come in the way of users who are switching their email client from Thunderbird to Outlook.

So, what can be done?

There’s an option of manual conversion method using a dummy email account that supports IMAP sync and has enough available space on servers, at least equal to the size of the database in Thunderbird you want to move. However, this approach can often be tedious and depending on the size can even be impractical. It’s basically uploading local data in Thunderbird to the web-server and then downloading it from the server to Outlook local folder. It takes too long even if you fast connection but in most cases, it’s impractical because no one offers a huge space on their web-servers.

But this too has its flaws making it not worthy of your time and efforts. It is making it too time-consuming. And it also leads to data loss and incomplete conversion.

The final option, and the one that works under certain situations, is by converting Thunderbird Mail to Outlook (PST file). You can convert them to the files that Outlook can import (PST) or convert to the full database directly than you can simply move to Outlook.

And this option works best if you have a professional converter.
