is there a way to do this? I can't find anything on Thunderbird to do this at all, since Thunderbird is using a different format...
Thanks

The reason you can't browse to a .PST file is because Thunderbird (like most non-Microsoft email clients) doesn't understand the format of a .PST file. It calls Outlooks *.DLLs to find and parse the .PST file using MAPI.
Check that Outlook is your default email client when trying to import from it. You could also try importing it into outlook express, and then from outlook express to thunderbird. That frequently works better.

If you want to import different profiles, you can always go to Control Panel, Mail, Profiles, and change the default profile to whichever you want to import. That should do it.
And it's driving me up the walls that I need to have Outlook installed to import it. I didn't check up on that, and have now gotten rid of my MS Office alltogether, since it was doing absolutely nothing for my productivity, in comparison with better products (OpenOffice, Thunderbird, MySQL, etc.) - Now I have 5 PST-files, of which I imported most, but not all - and everything from before 2004 is now safely archived in files I can't open >.< How's that for security?
