I have Outlook 2007 on my laptop and 2010 on my desktop. I was thinking about switching to TB as I don't use Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc., I only use Outlook. My question is...........I have 3 email addresses, and in my main address, I have about 10 different folders, like computer, travels, friends, jokes, business, health, ebay, etc., etc. In a few of these folders I have thousands of saved old emails I'd like to keep. Will TB be able to store all those old 5,000 or 10,000 emails?? Exactly how would I transfer all those folders and emails to TB?? I'm not too computer savy, so please let me know exact steps to take. Thanks much!! Bob

If outlook is installed, working and the default mail client. Thunderbird will prompt you to import from outlook on it's first start. I would not suggest trying on outlook2007 though. The 2010 version might just workbetter.
