[Raas]

I would like to import all of my mail and profile settings from Mozilla
Thunderbird into Microsoft Outlook. Any Help?

What does Mozilla support for export?

Mozilla Thunderbird doesn't have an option for exporting. Only importing.
If I had an export option I wouldn't have to ask how to import using Outlook.
Can it be done?

Well, Thunderbird doesn't have a "profile" in the same sense Outlook does,
but it's pretty trivial to define accounts in Outlook so I don't see a need.

For mail, see this:

Sorry I bothered to ask such a trivial question to those who were supposed to
know all about Outlook. I apologize to you all, but it's not trivial to me.
I have been asked to implement Outlook and transfer over 10,000 e-mails from
Thunderbird. I don't care to try to "copy" them one by one. Trival? I
guess. I also guess no one knows how. Thanks Sillydog for pointing out how
trivial another's questions are.

Where did ANYONE ever claim what you want is trivial. The Sillydog site
contains instructions for your to accomplish what you want. It's a
two-stage process. You first install Netscape Communicator V4, setting it
up to read your Thunderbird files. Then you transfer the data to Outlook
Express from Communicator, and finally transfer the data from Outlook
Express to Outlook. DOesn't sound trivial to me and, again, the Sillydog
forum I cited contains the exact steps.

Sheesh!
