How to Add Multiple Outlook Emails at Once?

more options

Hello Thunderbird Team,

I have around 30 Outlook email accounts saved in a file in this format: email:password.

I want to add all of them to Thunderbird, but doing it one by one takes too much time.

Is there any way to add all the accounts at once automatically? Please guide me in easy steps if possible.

Thank you for your help!

Unfortunately, this remains a manual process. The thunderbird setup wizard can help by simplifying the steps.

Thank you for the response.

Is there any other way you can suggest?

For example, if my virtual assistant (VA) adds all the Outlook accounts in Thunderbird on his own laptop or PC, is there any way he can transfer that setup to my laptop?

I just want to avoid adding 30 accounts one by one manually. Please let me know the best possible method to make this faster.

Thanks again for your support!''

Yes, that's easy.

Here is the link for moving a profile in Windows when installed in default location:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer

here is the info in brief steps:

  1. ensure thunderbird is NOT running on old machine
  2. enter %appdata% in search window on task bar and press Enter key
  3. this should open windows file explorer in Appdata\roaming folder
  4. highlight the Thunderbird folder and copy to external media
  5. ensure thunderbird is installed on second computer and NOT running
  6. enter %appdata% in search window on task bar and press Enter key
  7. you should be in Appdata\roaming folder , copy&paste the exported Thunderbird folder there. This may prompt to overwrite an existing folder of same name. allow it
  8. start thunderbird and all should be there
