Hi

I have a computer with Windows XP/SP2. In May of this year I had a huge problem with my Outlook software and switched over to Thunderbird version 1.5.0.7. This switch included importing all MS-Outlook e-mails into

Note that I have LOTS of archived e-mails in separate folders.

I bought a new computer and I want to use MS-Outlook again because I don't like Thunderbird. What files am I looking for to import into MS-Outlook? Also, will the MS-Outlook files from before also be imported or only the ones that I have created since starting to use Thunderbird. What are the file names to look for with regards to MS-Outlook files?

Thanks very much for any assistance.

Shelby
 
I think Thunderbird stores all of its info in this path:

C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\

As for Outlook, you'd need to look for .pst (personal folder) and .ost (offline folder) files.
