Importing EML files into Outlook is pretty easy: All messages will be saved in the EML format, which Outlook can recognize.

In Thunderbird, use “Ctrl+A” to select all messages in the mbox folder, right click the selected messages, click “Save as…”, then select a directory to save the selected messages. Restart thunderbird, and you should see that all messages in the mbox file are now in your Local Folders list.Change the folder to the directory where the mbox file resides.

Right click Local Folders, select Settings, click the Browse… button beside the Message Storage > Local directory text field., then click Next.Īfter the account has been set up, you will see there is a Local Folders structure on the left panel in Thunderbird. Enter a fake name and Email address in the dialog that pops up, then click Next.Click the Newsgroups link in the Thunderbird > Accounts section.

You can simply click Cancel to close the dialog.
