Thema: Umstieg von Thunderbird auf Outlook

So,

Da ich ja im Besitz der neue Office 2010 Suite Beta bin, möchte ich jetzt auch auf Outlook umsteigen.
Ich habe seither Thunderbird benutzt, möchte aber eben auch die Outlook Features testen.
Mein Problem ist jetzt, dass alle E-Mails in Thunderbird sind, ich diese aber in Outlook integrieren will.
Bei der Internetsuche habe ich das Programm "MozBackup" gefunden, welches mir auch meine ganzen Mails etc. aus Thunderbird exportiert. Allerdings im falschen Dateiformat, nämlich ".pcv".
Outlook will aber nur .pst Dateien importieren.

Wie krieg ich jetzt also meine Mails von Thunderbird in Outlook?
E-Mail Konto ist in Outlook schon eingerichtet...

Hat niemand dasselbe Problem?

Für Thunderbrid gibt es ein Addon Namens "MBOX2", dies kann aufjedenfall in eml. konvertieren.Also das Format Outlook!

Hallo
hier wäre was. aber bitte nicht erschlagen


Moving messages from Thunderbird to Outlook Express and Outlook

Even though Mozilla Thunderbird is a fantastic email client, there are people who (for one reason or another) need to switch back to Microsoft Outlook Express (OE) or Outlook. However, Thunderbird still doesn't have an "Export" feature which would export mail archives in a format understandable by OE or Outlook. IMAPSize can be of great help in this process and this page explains how to perform the migration.

Mozilla Thunderbird stores emails in the mbox format. Outlook Express stores email messages in propriatory *.dbx files but understands *.eml, which are plain text files. MS Outlook stores messages in *.pst files which are binary propriatory (Microsoft) files. Here are the steps you have to take:


1. Compact your Thunderbird folders (optional)

Thunderbird keeps messages in mbox files even after they have been deleted. If you don't want to include deleted messages in the conversion, you have to compact your folders in Thunderbird. Right click a folder and select "Compact This Folder". This will completely remove deleted messages from the folders mbox file.


2. Locate mbox files in Thunderbird

Thunderbird stores messages in the Profile Folder, in the Mail and (if you use IMAP) ImapMail folders. Each mail folder (Inbox, Sent, etc.) is stored as two files — one with no extension (e.g. INBOX), which is the mail file itself (in "mbox" format), and one with an .msf extension (e.g. INBOX.msf), which is the index (Mail Summary File) to the mail file.


3. Convert mbox files to eml files

IMAPSize has a built-in mbox2eml tool that can seemlesly convert thousands and thousands of messages. Download, install and run IMAPSize (it's free) and invoke the mbox2eml option from the Tools menu. Select the mbox file you wish to convert (you might need to set the "Files of type" option to "All Files" in the file selection dialog, since Thunderbird mbox files don't have an extension) and select a location where generated eml files should be stored. Click "Convert" and IMAPSize will start converting the files.

All the attachments will also be converted and your original Thunderbird files will not be touched. Starting from version 0.2.0. you can convert multiple mbox files at once.


4. Import generated eml files into Outlook Express

Launch Outlook Express and select the local folder (or create a new one) into which you want to import your messages. Open Windows Explorer or your favourite file manager, locate the generated eml files, select them and drag and drop them into the OE application window. If Outlook Express is your email client of choice you don't have to perform the next step.


5. Export files from OE to Outlook

Assuming you have Outlook installed on your system, open Outlook Express and from the File menu select Export/Messages. Once exported, the messages will appear in Outlook - if they were in your inbox in OE, they'll be added to your Outlook inbox; if they were in a local subfolder in OE, a folder of the same name will be created under your Outlook inbox.
