| s5n 18/09/2006 1:24pm | Hello,
is there a way to export my messages into thunderbird? I did not find any way to do this... Cheers s5n |

| Ou Boet 19/11/2006 12:05am | I've dragged a few mail folders to the desktop and they saved as MBX files. But how do you import them into Thunderbird? The import function only lists formats for Communicator, Eudora, Outlook and Outlook Express. Of those, only the Eudora option does anything with the files, but the import does not work properly. The mails are garbled and the attachments are "lost".
Please help. OB |

| Ou Boet 22/11/2006 3:26pm | Not yet. Looks like my old emails will have to be stored with a "standalone" setup of InScribe so that I can get to them if I need to.
I'll post here if i find the answer. Maybe the Memecode guys can write an extention or plugin that will export to the format of your choice. OB |
| Ou Boet 23/11/2006 7:01pm | Rejoice - It seems as though I have found the answer.
First, download and install the MboxImport extention from the page given below. Then import from the Thunderbird menus: Tools --> Import/Export in mbox format --> Import mbox file http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?showtopic=2074 I did a few tests here at work and it seems that it works well. I'll do a big import at home of all my emails later this evening. Read the site below for some more detailed instructions. http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/mboximport-en.html Hope this helps others. Regards OB |
