Even though Mozilla Thunderbird is a fantastic email client, there are people who (for one reason or another) need to switch back to Microsoft Outlook Express (OE) or Outlook. However, Thunderbird still doesn't have an "Export" feature which would export mail archives in a format understandable by Outlook Express or Outlook.

Mozilla Thunderbird stores emails in the mbox format. Outlook Express stores email messages in propriatory *.dbx files but understands *.eml, which are plain text files. MS Outlook stores messages in *.pst files which are binary propriatory (Microsoft) files.

If you would prefer a one-click commercial solution for your Thunderbird to Outlook conversion tasks, we recommend Address Magic.

Address Magic Personal takes the guesswork out of the Thunderbird to Outlook conversion by automatically finding your files and automatically matching fields.

There are two versions of the product. The PLUS version converts address books, email and calendars. The standard version costs less but only converts address books.

Launch Outlook Express and select the local folder (or create a new one) into which you want to import your messages. Open Windows Explorer or your favourite file manager, locate the generated eml files, select them and drag and drop them into the OE application window. If Outlook Express is your email client of choice you don't have to perform the next step.

Yes, it's that easy to export thunderbird to outlook express!
