There does not seem to be any smooth converter around (except commercial aid4mail maybe). But you can export the mails from TheBat folder by folder as .MBX files. These files can be imported by Thunderbird. Mail flags, colors, filters etc. will not be exported to the MBX-files and therfore will also not be imported by Thunderbird. This works for your attachments. The addressbook can be exported&imported, but not by this workaround. Here is how to do it step by step: | There does not seem to be any smooth converter around (except commercial aid4mail maybe). But you can export the mails from TheBat folder by folder as .MBX files.
