I have three email accounts, all exchange based (EAS), with Thunderbird will I be able to easily move email from one account to another?
Currently I am using Outlook with Office 365 and it doesn't have the functionality that I need. I have one home and two business accounts. Sometimes, when travelling etc., I use my home account for business, then at a later date, I need to move those emails from my 'home' account to a 'business' account. The email protocol being used is exchange based (EAS). Will Thunderbird do this task for me?
Thanks!

I'm somewhat surprised that Outlook lets you down.
In Thunderbird you can move messages from one folder to another, regardless of which account they're in.
The most intuitive method is to drag and drop. Slightly more efficient is to select the message(s) you want to move, right-click and select Move To….
I use the QuickFolders add-on for which I pay a small annual subscription that enhances the Move To… action by allowing me to type a few letters and it shows me folders whose names match my typing. So rather than scrolling through folder trees, I can jump to the required folder by its name.
Your main stumbling block may be in that the accounts use EAS and Thunderbird doesn't natively support this. If your servers don't have SMTP and IMAP/POP support, you may have to wrestle with add-ons to make it all work.

Hi Zenos,
Thanks for your reply. That's the stumbling block with Outlook in that it will support one EAS account but no more (as far as I understand)(I'm a complete beginner at this!). Perhaps I should change protocol and then retry with Outlook .... but I like the look of Thunderbird!
