I am migrating from The Bat! email client (still adore it most, but switching primarily to Linux). I have thousands of emails and are prepping them for conversion.

From screenshots of Thunderbird, it doesn't look that like both clients have the same Message List Columns/Message Fields, so I may lose information in the conversion. I am looking for an official list of all the fields available in Thunderbird so that I may compare and make changes in The Bat! first.

One example, I currently use a Memo field, which is in addition to a Tag field. Will Thunderbird support that?

Any guidance or information is appreciated. Thank you!

The default columns are shown in the attached picture, which is displayed by clicking the square icon at the right end of the column buttons. Some add-ons may add columns depending on their function, e.g. to indicate a note is attached or to show the senders' email address.

Thank you so much sfhowes! Your response also introduces me to mozillazine, which I have a feeling I will be visiting often. Cheers!
