Migrating from Thunderbird to Mail

peejay1986 · 2011-07-23 18:07:14

After a lot of problems using Thunderbird I've decided to begin try out the new Lion Mail app as my default client. However I'm having problems importing my emails from Thunderbird. Using the Import feature in Mail is not working. Even after the Import process was complete there were lots of emails missing. Anyone know why…

Anyone know why this is? Better yet, anyone ever done this migration before and can give me advice on the best way to do this?

Thanks in advance. Really need help, getting so frustrated!

Apologies for wasting a thread but I've abandoned this. Gone instead with Postbox as it has far superior migration options. Migrated all of my Thunderbird emails and settings in a minute or so. Lovely client too.
