  0 0 Are you talking about importing messages in a .PST (personal store) file on your hard drive? If so, have you tried going to the Tools menu in Thunderbird, selecting Import..., clicking on the 'Mail' radio button, and selecting 'Outlook'? If not, try that. If my assumptions are wrong, or if you don't see the commands I'm talking about, or it doesn't work, tell us what version of Thunderbird you're using, and where you have those messages stored. capicola answered in Geek Week 10 months ago | Report 3 comments by Assistant Principal, Assistant Principal, and Assistant Principal… 0 0 Thank you Anthony and capicola. I am trying to get the email folders I have created in Hotmail/@msn.com under the Folders tab. We have created several folders that store email files. I took capicola's advised and imported the Outlook files. I'm not sure what we had left in Outlook (we haven't used it in at least 2 years. I am tired of using web based email because it is so clunky, and Thunderbird seems to be just right for us, be in order for it to work we need to gather the folders and files within them to use in Thunderbird. I have gone into Thunderbird and attempted to import everything through the tools>import process. I think the only option I have to import from Hotmail is under the "settings" radio button when it offers Windows Live Mail. "settings" is the only category that offers this option. I'm not sure if it is even possible to do this from a web based email, but it seems like I should be able to since I imported my whole "inbox" from Hotmail/@msn.com. Thanks!

I'll let you know if I have better luck after that. I thought I had the latest version, but it looks like I'm way behind.

  0 0 Hi.. I'm not an expert at Thunderbird specifically, but I'll try to help. Just to make sure I understand the problem - You're using Thunderbird now with your @msn.com email, but there are some files that you can't access in Thunderbird? Is that right? Are these files emails, or some other kind of file? If you can describe the problem in specific steps - e.g. I open Thunderbird and see ____, I select _____, and I expect to see ____ but instead I see _____ - or something like that, I'll see what I can figure out.
