At work I use MS Outlook. At home I've just installed Mozilla Thunderbird.
I made a backup of my Outlook mail today, and saved it as an Outlook file. I'm now trying to import it in Thunderbird and its not working. There were 3 import options (as in I choose the file type or something) one was Eudora, one was Outlook, one was Outlook Express.
When I click Eudora it said No mailboxes were found to import, even though it never asked me the path to import the file from.
When I click Outlook it says "there is no email program associated to perform the request action, please install an email program." This is the most baffling of the 3 error messages, as I believe Thunderbird IS the email program.
When I click Outlook Express it actually somewhat behaves like you'd expect (except for the part that I dont actually use Outlook Express at work), it asks the path I want to import from. But when I navigate to that path it doesnt show the file in there, ie its not a recognized file type. When I just select the relevant folder, it says no mailboxes were found to import.
I'm hoping someone can help!
Thanks
Dan
