Migrating to Mozilla Thunderbird

Getting Started

If you're a new Mozilla Thunderbird user, you almost certainly have old e-mail stored in the archives of another e-mail client. If you use e-mail frequently, you might also have an address book full of contacts and settings fully tweaked to your liking. Thankfully Thunderbird makes transferring your e-mail, settings, and address books a painless process in nearly all circumstances. With its support for migrating e-mail, settings, and your address book from Eudora, Outlook, Outlook Express, and Netscape Communicator 4.x (not to mention its support for e-mail stored in Thunderbird's own format, used by Netscape 6/7, KMail, Evolution, and many other clients), getting your e-mail out of your old program and into Thunderbird is a simple process.

Importing Your E-mail

Start the import process by selecting Tools > Import. The import process consists of a series of dialogs which will lead you through the process of migrating your e-mail, address book, and settings.
