I have just today installed Thunderbird Email program and adding 2 of my email accounts. After installing the Import Export Tool 3.2.4.1 I followed the instructions to locate and import my local folders from Windows Live Mail under the special account Local Folders. Everything goes well right down to where I select the folder, Storage Folders, that contains all the local folders I want to capture. Each sub folder of Storage Folders contains two sub folders Sent and In. When I select open nothing happens. I have also tried selecting one sub folder of Storage Folders and this works somewhat. It imports the 2 sub folders of the folder selected but does not import the parent folder. As I understood the instructions on the web site I would be able to import all the storage folders at once. It now appears that I will have to create all of the parent folders first in Thunderbird and then import their sub folders. This will be time consuming and not what I expected from a sophisticated product from Mozilla.

How do I get around this?

If you have them saved as .eml files in the folders. Create a new folder in Thunderbird Local Folders account. right click on folder select: ImportExportTools select: Import all messages from a directory choose one the next options to import just directory or to include sub directory select the folder and clickon 'Select folder'

Did you do this: right click on 'Local Folders' mail account select : ImportExporttools select : Import mbox file select: import one or more mbox files, with it's/their subdirectory click on OK locate 'Storage Folders' which I'm assuming is an mbox file at the top level. click on Open.

Hi Toad-Hall, I tried your first solution but it did not get me what I wanted. I finally just created the folders under the local folders account and then imported them individually. A long process but it worked. which is what your second suggestion was. Thanks for taking the time to respons.
