Aloha everyone. Apologies for my lack of knowledge on email, but I only deal with this area about once a year so I forget everything I learned from my last disaster.
Client was using Thunderbird IMAP to access his email provided by GoDaddy. Something happened and they closed his email account (long story - not pertinent to this situation). They've created a new account but it is an Exchange account not IMAP. We've purchased Microsoft 365 got it up and running and his email is once again working. However, he has about 2.5k emails in the local Thunderbird MBOX file that I would like to figure our how to get them out of Thunderbird, and into Outlook 365.
One of the mail migration specialists at GoDaddy suggested that I get Thunderbird working with Exchange, and then copy the files from the IMAP inbox folder to the Exchange inbox folder. I installed the Owl extension in T-Bird and it seemed to talk with Exchange. Tried the copy from folder to folder as suggested, but nothing got copied. I'm *guessing* this is due to the IMAP account being unable to logon to the email servers. Whatever the reason, this did not work.
Another call to GoDaddy support and they said to find a 3rd party conversion program. I found Stellar MBOX to PST Converter. Does anyone have any experience with this program? (good or bad feedback)
Assuming I use Stellar (or some other mbox to PST converter), what the heck to I do with the PST file?
Lastly, I was able to migrate the address book from T-Bird to Outlook, but I could not figure out how to do this with the "Collected Addresses" in T-Bird. Any suggestions on this?
Mahalo for your assistance!
