Thunderbird is one of the most commonly used email clients for official correspondence. It has impressive features such as junk filtering, message management, and open source.<br \/>\nHowever, many professionals wish to move emails from <strong>Thunderbird to Outlook<\/strong>  owing to Thunderbird&#8217;s configuration issues. Also, users prefer MS Outlook for its user-oriented features and ease of installation in different browsers. Here are some prominent and working ways to move Emails from Thunderbird to Outlook 209, 2016.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The need to export emails from Thunderbird to Outlook:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\tOutlook is a Microsoft product and thus comes with a complete suite that is easily accessible and compatible.<\/li>\n<li>\tOutlook has a better spam filter and goes miles in mitigating phishing attacks.<\/li>\n<li>\tThunderbird lacks a task and calendar list.<\/li>\n<li>\tOutlook supports complex automation rules to allow seamless workflow and to manage email messages.<\/li>\n<li>\tThough Thunderbird supports email clients with POP3, SMTP, and IMAP protocols, it can be configured only with an add-on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Free Way to import Thunderbird to Outlook:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\tRun Thunderbird.<\/li>\n<li>\tChoose File > New, and pick the existing Email account<\/li>\n<li>\tEnter the login credentials<\/li>\n<li>\tClick Done<\/li>\n<li>\tInstall and Run Outlook.<\/li>\n<li>\tClick File> Add Account<\/li>\n<li>\tEnter the Login credentials and complete the configuration<\/li>\n<li>\tNow your Import from <strong>Thunderbird to Outlook<\/strong> is successful.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, the manual method is not suitable for performing the export from <strong>Thunderbird to Outlook<\/strong> in batches, and there is a risk of data loss or corruption. Also, the manual method is time-consuming and has little to do with deleted emails. Thus, the best Way to do this is to adopt the software-based MBOX to PST conversion option.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Exporting Thunderbird to Outlook with the help of Drag and Drop Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With the help of the drag-and-drop option, it is important to export the Thunderbird emails in the EML files. Then, the next step is to drag and drop the EML files to a freshly opened Outlook folder.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\tExport the MBOX emails in Thunderbird into an EML file.<\/li>\n<p>\u27a2\tOpen the messages folder from 2019 or 2016 that you wish to export<br \/>\n\u27a2\tChoose a single email or entire message list as per the requirement.<br \/>\n\u27a2\tRight-click on the selected message and choose the \u2018Save As\u2019 option<br \/>\n\u27a2\tTo export the EML file, we can create a new folder.\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\tDrag and drop the exported EML file into the Outlook folder.<\/li>\n<p>\u27a2\tOpen the folder where you wish to export the EML files in Windows<br \/>\n\u27a2\tDrag and drop the exported EML files into the Outlook folder.\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\tExport the emails into PST format.<\/li>\n<p>\u27a2\tOpen Outlook<br \/>\n\u27a2\tSelect the Open and Export option from the file menu and click on export or import.<br \/>\n\u27a2\tChoose the export option and press Next<br \/>\n\u27a2\tChoose the Outlook Data File in the .pst format and click on Next.<br \/>\n\u27a2\tSelect the folders where the exported EML files are saved<br \/>\n\u27a2\tChoose a path for the PST file to save and click Finish.\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Professional Way to Convert Thunderbird Emails to Outlook:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>MBOX to PST Converter is a very easy-to-use and well-known tool that helps export <strong>Thunderbird to Outlook<\/strong>. It has a number of user-friendly options for exporting Thunderbird to Outlook 2019, 2016, and other versions, which are as follows.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\tIt is a very secure approach that prioritizes data privacy.<\/li>\n<li>\tThe software exports Thunderbird emails and their properties without any changes.<\/li>\n<li>\tIt is easy to export large <strong>MBOX to PST<\/strong> files, and it works with multiple email clients and exchange servers.<\/li>\n<li>\tA filter option allows you to exclude all unwanted items in the MBOX files and export only the required items.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Quick steps to export Thunderbird Mail to Outlook:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\tRun the MBOX to PST converter software in the system.<\/li>\n<li>\tEnsure you tap on the add files and select Thunderbird MBOX.<\/li>\n<li>\tPick the PST format and also choose the destination folder path.<\/li>\n<li>\tStart the conversion process by clicking on the export icon.<\/li>\n<li>\tClick on the File and choose the Import\/Export option to import PST in Outlook.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Importing the converted PST files to Outlook:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\tAs a first step, open Outlook and click on the File option.<\/li>\n<li>\tThen, click on the open and export option. Then, choose to import or export.<\/li>\n<li>\tA wizard will open; now, choose &#8216;Import from another program or file&#8217;, then click Next.<\/li>\n<li>\tSelect the Outlook data file and click on Next.<\/li>\n<li>\tChoose the PST file with the help of the browser button, choose the duplicate options, and click the Next button.<\/li>\n<li>\tChoose the folder from where you wish to export the items and click on Finish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>It is better to adopt software to perform the <strong>Thunderbird to Outlook<\/strong> transition rather than the other manual methods.
