I am virtually certain i was able to easily do this using the import tools on the version of thunderbird I had about a year ago. But Outlook Express is no longer an option when I open the import tool.

Thanks for your response and the link. The email folders I have are in OE dbx file format. I tried to get them into eml format using Win Live Mail but could not get that to work either. I cannot install OE because I am on WIn 10 which I'm pretty sure does not support OE. So I tried to backup to a version of T-Bird that was about 1 year old... which would correlate to when I thought I had done this successfully before. I went to version 52.6.0 which was released in Jan 2018 I think. In that version OE is an option for the Import wiz and I was able to successfully import a ton of OE emails easily to local folders... even with OE not installed because as i said I am Win 10. So looks problem is solved. But interesting that the OE option disappeared on more recent versions. After importing everything I went back to latest T-bird and backed up my Profile to make sure I I won't have to do this again.

Since Outlook express isn't a Mozilla software or email program you will have to ask Outlook support for why it's not importing.

I will flag this thread and ask a moderator to move this to the Thunderbird support forum.
