Hello, I have three profiles, and then a large number of sub folders in Local Folders. I would like to know how to transfer these Local Folders to Outlook. the profiles and their emails have all been transferred successfully.

I think this should work:

  1. install the 'importexporttools NG addon
  2. highlight a desired folder, rightclick, and select importexport option to export as EML files
  3. repeat for all desired folders
  4. in Outlook, create a new folder and the drag the EML files to it

Thanks for this david. Is there anyway the Local folders in Thunderbird can be converted to .pst format?

If you do a web search, I think there are some tools that convert mbox to pst, but none by thunderbird.

Thanks David, I have found this SysTool MBOX Converter, and the instructions as shown here: https://www.freeviewer.org/blog/outlook-import-thunderbird-local-folders/ Do you think this will do the trick?

Well, at $39 it should. I have not used it, but the ad is stating all the right words. Good luck.
