Hello, The 'Import' option in Thunderbird only seems to be able to import all emails from Outlook. I wish to import only ONE email at a time. How is that done please? Regards Philip Kelly

There may be other ways, but here is one: - Export a message in Outlook in EML format. I am not familiar with Outlook, but I noticed many websites explaining how to do that - in thunderbird, install the 'importexportools' addon - highlight a message folder, rightclick, select the importexport menu and select to import eml message.
