Recently, while helping a colleague switch email clients, I learned how tricky it can be to move between Thunderbird and Outlook. Thunderbird stores everything in MBOX format, while Outlook only accepts PST files. Because of that mismatch, there is no native button or direct import path to export Thunderbird to PST. Manual attempts like IMAP syncing look okay on paper but take a lot of time, configurations, and repeated steps—especially when mailboxes are large or contain attachments. A much simpler method is to use the SysInfo Thunderbird Backup Tool. What stood out to me is its ability to automatically detect Thunderbird profiles without needing manual browsing for file paths. It also supports exporting selective folders using filters, which is helpful when you don’t want to transfer junk or outdated emails. Along with PST, it supports multiple file types and backup options, enabling users to keep local copies for security or record-keeping. For anyone who needs a direct and clean migration workflow, this utility is definitely an efficient approach.
It is common task, which users often face while exporting emails from Thunderbird to Outlook. Users can not not directly access their Thunderbird emails in Outlook as both completely different email application, which support different file format but this task can be easily done by using EmailsGuru Thunderbird to Outlook Converter. It offers direct option to export emails from Thunderbird to Outlook with attachments. This tool preserves all your email data and attachments throughout the migration process and most important it is supported to all older and newer versions of Mozilla Thunderbird as well as Microsoft Outlook, offering seamless compatibility.
This software from Softaken Thunderbird to PST Converter, makes it easy to export many Thunderbird files to Outlook PST files at once. You can quickly add Thunderbird files with attachments to Outlook. Even though the tool is easy to use, moving takes some time. Because it was updated, it now works with the newest versions of both macOS and Windows. Its graphical user interface (GUI) is easy for both beginners and professionals to use.
