I have managed to migrate my e-mails from Outlook to Thunderbird. But not my accounts, apparently. I cannot receive any e-mails from the accounts which I had in Outlook. Can I transfer my accounts and their e-mails from Outlook to Thunderbird? Or do I have to delete these e-mails, create accounts in Thunderbird, and then migrate the e-mails from each account from Outlook to Thunderbird? If that is the case how should I do this? Thank you.

Hi День сумо. Thanks for your reply. I downloaded the file importexporttools_ng-4.0.4-tb.xpi, right licked on it, selected Open with --- - Firefox. I got a message stating that this add-on could not be installed as it has not been verified. Is there any verified version which I can use. Thank you.

You need to create the mail accounts and then import the messages. Messages need to be in mbox format or .eml format.

I had managed to import my e-mails to Thunderbird but not my accounts. I had to create new accounts. I suppose that I can distributee my e-mails to the relevant accounts.
