Transfer WindowsMail to Thunderbird

I've been trying for a week to do this, but no luck.

I can't find a way to transfer from WindowsMail to Thunderbird in Windows 7.

Every time I try to import, it doesn't work.


I downloaded an AdOn for Thunderbird, as recomended on various sites, but that didn't work in Vista or Windows 7.


Any clues on how to do this?



Thanks

Thanks for the tip.

The link on this page doesn't work, but I think this is the link for the AdOn.

ImportExportTools


But this doesn't work.

I've tried it in Windows7 and also Vista, but no luck.


Any clues?


Thanks

I have a new machine with 7

Installed the latest versin of T

No error message.

When I try to use the Adon, it just stops half way through. I click it to import, click Import all, then it jsut freezes. Tried it in Vista and Windows7. Can't import messages, as it doesn't allow me to choose WindowsMail.


Tried many times - no luck. WOuld love to be able to simply transfer my messages, but can't find how to do it.


thanks!

Doesn't the import/export function in Thunderbird do this normally?

Can't get it to work in 7 or Vista.


Tearing my hear out.

Gonna try backing up on Vista with Mbox2xml, and then transfering the files.. who knows, it might work.

Cheers

Windows mail

• Import to Thunderbird: Windows mail stores the messages as .EML files. They are normally stored within the C:\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail directory. If you can't find them look in the Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Maintenance -> Store Folder to find where Windows Mail stored them. You can use the ImportExportTools extension to import .EML files. It lets you select multiple .EML files at the same time.
  Export the contacts using the Windows Contacts program as a .csv file. You can import it using Tools -> Import -> Address books -> Text Files
• Export from Thunderbird: Export the messages as .EML files using the ImportExportTools extension.

This method worked for me.

Thanks for the info.

I understand your instructions.

But, when I go to Import and search for folders, it won't recognise the AppData folder.

When I go to C it isn't there, so I can't get to the WindowsMail folder.


Also - when I copy the WindowsMail folder from my old PC, it doesn't copy them with .EML.

Any suggestions on how to do this?


Thanks!
