Hello All,

At the moment I'm using Outlook for Mac and I flagged many emails. How can I import these flags into Thunderbird, as I only see tags in Thunderbird

Thunderbird does not "do" outlook style flags.

Thunderbird has stars. The standard has stars. Outlook appears to use the stared and flagged interchangeably. https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/office/how-do-i-sort-my-inbox-by-unread-flagged-starred-or-attachments-9d91409a-c26d-4c29-900d-d760387e7c8f

So I guess the importer will import mail as starred if it is flagged, but as I do not really do anything with Outlook and have not done so for more than 20 years I am no expert.
