• Sort of Works

  DDierdorfMay 15, 2011

  Pros

  Does get files into Outlook Express format

  Cons

  Lots of errors in the exported files. Exports individual files not folders.

  Summary

  Will get the files moved, but with errors. Still need DAWN to move address book.

• Works OK, but very SLOW

  Pros

  Collates all the eml files in their folders

  Cons

  Runs in Czech, but can be changed to run in English by edting the tbird2oe.cfg file in Notepad and changing the entry 'Language=CZ' to Language=EN. The program will then run in English. Also very SLOW.

• Thunderbird to Outlook Express email - MBOX to .emL

  abqphilDecember 3, 2010

  Pros

  + Does what it claims so that I do not have to do it manually using mbx2eml in each folder and each sub-folder + Installer prompts for language and English is an option + Flashing green status section lets me know it has not locked up while running

  Cons

  (both minor) - After selecting English during installation the user must still select EN from the tab in the lower right corner to see English text - Browse button does not work like regular Windows file explorers (see *** below)

  Summary

  I gave this 5 stars because I did not have to do the conversion manually in each folder and subfolder with the mbx2eml program that also works, but not recursively in folders. This program starts at a top level folder such as "Local Folders" and recursively converts all of the files and folders beneath it. To go from Thunderbird email to Outlook email, use this to convert Thunderbird email to a format Outlook Express will read (Windows Live Mail should read it too). Outlook will then import from the Outlook Express email format * Do not have either of the Source or Output folders open while this runs *** Browse button does not work like regular Windows file explorers (double clicking c: does not open the contents of c: but going to the drop down and re-selecting c: does). Using the drop down box, any drive can be accessed and then folder names can be double-clicked to access their contents

• I don't speak Czech

  ozwaltSeptember 13, 2010

  Pros

  Unknown. Can't run it.

  Cons

  I installed and selected English, but program isn't in English. No biggie, but non usable.

  Summary

  Seems like an easy glitch to fix.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Sep 13, 2010<p/>Correction: there is a little button on the bottom right of the window that says CZ. Click that and change it to EN and you'll switch to English. HOWEVER, I still couldn't use the program -- using it's browse button to find my T-bird files wouldn't take me to where I needed to go.
