To Importing an identity from Outlook :

You can easily import your mail and settings from Outlook and Outlook Express in two ways:

• The first time you start the client, an import wizard will appear and allow you to select Outlook or Outlook Express to automatically import all your emails and settings.
  
  
• You can also run whenever you want the wizard to import from the top menu Tools - Import

To Import more than one identity, follow the steps below :

The above procedure works perfectly if you only have an identity in Outlook. However, if you have more than one (home, work, school, etc..), Only import the information from your default identity in Outlook. To import information from other identities:

• Starts Outlook, select File - Identities - Identity Manager and change your default identity you want to import another. Close and reopen Outlook to apply the preferences, then close Outlook completely.
  
• Now run the import wizard (Tools - Import), and when finished check that the information was imported correctly.
• Repeat with each identity in Outlook.

Note: When you change your identity in the Identity Manager Outlook, make sure that the identity you want to import is selected in the two options: "Use this identity when you start the program" and "Use this identity when a program can not ask you to choose an identity. "

Mozilla Thunderbird and other mail clients, like Evolution, use the mbox format to store emails. However, the program does not directly incorporates an option to import such files, which can be a problem in cases such as moving an account to another computer or to migrate from Mozilla Suite to Mozilla Thunderbird.

The extension ImportExportTools (formerly Mboximport) lets you import files in mbox format in Mozilla Thunderbird, and export as well post a full count. The extension also allows import and export using the eml format.

Once installed the extension so we just have to use the new item created in the menu Tools / Import Export in mbox format / eml / Import mbox file and select the files to import. You can find the location of the mbox or eml files of your program in its documentation, for example, Evolution is in ~ / .evolution / mail.

To export a single message, a specific folder, or a complete account we have only to use the right mouse button and choose Export and specify the destination where files are saved.

For importing address book from Thunderbird to Evolution, it does not offer by default from its interface can be exported to a CSV (Comma Separated Values), but there is a semi-hidden utility that works through the command line. Run/usr/lib/evolution/evolution/2.x/evolution-addressbook-export - format = csv> contactos.csv where 2.x version of Evolution means that you have installed and "contactos.cvs" is an example of name.

Open the Thunderbird Address Book and select Tools / Import / Address Books. When indicating the file to import from, choose the format of "Separated by commas and select the previous file," contactos.cvs.

By extending MoreFunctionsForAddressBook , install an extension called MoreFunctionsForAddressBook enabling us to import an address book stored in VCard format, which is the format that offers Evolution by default.

In Evolution, in point of contacts, select File / Save the address book as VCard and specify a file name.

In Thunderbird, open the address book, select Actions / Contacts / Import VCard and open the file you saved previously.
