Import Contacts and Mail from Windows Vista Mail

Post by RicJacq »

I am having ongoing problems with Windows Mail (Vista) and would like to copy my contacts, mail folders and mail content to Thunderbird. When proceeding with Thunderbird menu Tools > Import, the import dialog box does not offer me a Windows Mail option. How can I import the contacts, mail folders and mail from Vista? Thank you for your recommendations.

Export the address book as a .csv file and import that.

For the messages, they are stored in the .eml format in Windows Mail. Use the <a href="http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/mboximport-en.html">ImportExportTools</a> extension to import these .eml files into Thunderbird.
