The import tool offers to import accounts and settings from Outlook, but runniing it fails to import any of the 8 accounts I have configured. 7 of the accounts are IMAP/SMTP, one is a Google Workspace (GWS) account synchronized via GWSMO. Import Accounts and Settings finishes instantly with no error messages but imports nothing. Import Address Books takes longer but appears to import all contacts regardless of source in Outlook into one local address book. There is no differentiation between the GWS address book and the various local address books configured in Outlook. The Import Calendar option is disabled. Import Mail Messages hung but seemed to import at least all local message folders as well as the GWS mail messages. Thunderbird is 143.0.1 (32-bit) running under Windows Pro x64 22H2.
