How do I migrate to Thunderbird from the Office 2000 version of Outlook?

I have an old Windows XP machine and am running Office 2000. In preparation for purchasing a new machine running Windows 7 or later I would like to convert to Thunderbird. In order to retain my current back e-mails and address book, your article on transferring seems to say that I need to have both programs running on the same machine, which, to avoid purchasing a new version of Outlook, inplies doing it on the old machine. However, the article only talks about migrating from Office 2007. Is the procedfure the same for Office 2000?

Thanks

Peter

Thanks for the response. It may be a little while before I actually do anything, but this gives me encouragement that I ought to have no problems. (My account is a POP3, so the comments on IMAP probably do not apply.) If I have further problems of omple,entation, I will of course be back, but consider the question solved for now.

Thanks once again.

Peter
