Created Mail Folders from Thunderbird to MS Ent.

[Scott04TL]

I have been using Mozilla Thunderbird email client and created
numerous folders to keep messages in from clients of mine. I don't
want to use T-Bird anymore so I want to get these folders I created
into MS Ent and have no idea how to do it.

There is no viable import and or export feature that will do this.

Is there some manual way to do this?

I've seen people say this works:

1. Find your Thunderbird mail folders (usually in
/Users/you/Library/thunderbird/profiles/your account/mail/local
folders).
2. There are three versions of your folders (Inbox.msf, Inbox.sbd, inbox).
3. Copy the one without the extension to the desktop (or wherever you want).
4. Add the extention ".mbox" to the files you copied to the desktop.
5. Open Entourage and drag the folders into the folder list (Folders on
my computer).
