Thunderbird can import your messages and OS X address book, but it cannot import your account settings. (Currently, message and address book import is only functional with Apple Mail 5.0 or earlier.)

Importing Apple Mail messages

  1. On the menu bar, open the Tools menu and click on Import. The import wizard will open.
  2. Select Mail then click .
  3. Select Apple Mail then click .
  4. You will see a log of successfully imported folders, then click to close the import wizard.

Your imported messages will appear in the Local Folders account, in a folder called 'Apple Mail Import'.

Importing the OS X address book

Thunderbird will read your OS X address book and display it in the Thunderbird address book window! From the menu bar, open the Window menu and click on Address Book. Your OS X address book will appear in the left pane.

If you want to import it to the Thunderbird address book, just drag and drop entries from the Mac OS X address book folder to the Personal Address Book.

Note: You can select all entries at once by holding down the command key and pressing A.

Windows Mail is the default mail client included with Windows Vista.Windows Live Mail is the email client bundled with Windows Live Essentials. Both client programs store emails in the .eml file format. In order to export messages from Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail to Thunderbird, you must export messages from the Windows application and import them into Thunderbird. A similar method is needed to export contacts from Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail to Thunderbird.

To find the location of the email files in Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail, go to Tools > Options > Advanced > Maintenance > Store Folder.

If you do not see Tools, try File > Options > Mail… > Advanced > Maintenance… Apple os x antivirus. instead.

Importing Windows Mail Messages

Apple Wizard Bar In Nyc

Importing Windows Mail (.eml files) into Thunderbird is enabled by the third-party add-on ImportExport Tools. Download and install this add-on to transfer messages from Windows Live Mail to Thunderbird.

  1. Export your messages from Windows Mail in .eml format.
  2. In Thunderbird, create a folder in 'Local Folders' to hold your imported mail and select it.
  3. Right click the folder and select ImportExportTools > Import all messages from a directory > also from its subdirectories.
  4. Navigate to the .eml files folder. The default location for Windows Live mail is C:Users<username>AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindows Live Mail (or Windows Mail).
  5. Click . Your data will be imported.
Note: To be able to see the 'AppData' folder, you must change the Folder Options to 'Show hidden files, folders, and drives' first. See the Microsoft Support article Show hidden files for more information.

Importing Windows Mail Contacts

In order to import Windows contacts into Thunderbird, you must export the contacts to vCard files (.vcf format) and import the files into Thunderbird.

  1. In Windows Live Mail, open the Contacts and select all the contacts you wish to export.
  2. Click on Export > Business Card (.VCF).
  3. Select an empty directory to save these to.

In Thunderbird, install the MoreFunctionsForAddressBook add-on following these instructions.

  1. Click on .
  2. Click on the address book you wish to import the contacts into.
  3. Click Tools > MoreFunctionsForAddressBook > Actions for Contacts > Import vCard / VCF.
  4. Browse to the folder where you exported your contacts to.
  5. Select all the contacts you wish to import.
  6. Click to import all selected contacts.

Alternatively, if this does not work or is not supported in your case, you can try this:

See the Export contacts from Outlook article at Microsoft.com for instructions on how to export contacts in Windows.

After creating the required file, you can import your contacts using the import wizard:

  1. In Thunderbird, go to Tools > Import….
  2. Choose Address Books and click .
  3. Choose Text file (LDIF, .tab, .csv, .txt) and click .
  4. Choose Comma Separated (or All files) in the drop-down list at the bottom right, browse to the .csv file you just created, select it and click Open.
  5. Wait for the import to finish and click .

In the Import Address Book window that appears, use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to match the address book fields on the left to the correct data for import on the right, and uncheck items you do not want to import. When you are done, click OK. Your contacts should now be imported and ready for use in Thunderbird.

Apple Wizard Bar

Note that if you are having problems importing the fields properly (like when all record data to import shows up inside the first field row when inside the Import Address Book window), this is probably a result of an exported .csv file containing semicolons instead of commas, or the other way around. This usually happens because the separator in Windows Regional settings does not match the one for the Thunderbird locale, for instance when you exported a .csv file using an English Windows version and try to import it into a non-English version of Thunderbird. In this case, you should make the list separator match in your Regional settings before exporting the .csv file, or you could edit the already exported .csv file using a text editor and replace all semicolons by commas (or vice versa), and retry the import step.

The normal Thunderbird import process requires that you have Eudora or Outlook installed on your computer. If you do not have them installed, there are alternatives as noted below.

To use Thunderbird's import wizard, you must use an older version of Thunderbird, because the wizard is disabled for Outlook and Eudora in Thunderbird version 38 and newer versions. Install version 31.8, import your data, then upgrade to the latest version of Thunderbird via the built-in update mechanism.

For Eudora, if you have data problems or crashes, try an even older version of Thunderbird and a tool to clean the data. An example of a data cleaning tool for Mac OS is Eudora Mailbox Cleaner.

An alternative to Thunderbird's import wizard is to find a tool to transform your data to mbox format (.mbx), and then use Import Export Tools add-on in Thunderbird to import the mbox files. One such mbox conversion tool for Eudora is Eudora Rescue.

Eudora is not installed

If Eudora is not installed and you want to use the Thunderbird import wizard, you can easily change the Windows registry to point to your Eudora files, then run the import wizard.

  • Create a .reg file called eudora.reg containing the following lines. Replace H:SCRATCHEudoradata with the location of your Eudora data. (note the double backslashes and the blank line)
  • In a Windows command prompt, run 'regedit /s eudora.reg'.
  • Use the Thunderbird import wizard.

The following instructions describe how to import messages and contacts from Evolution.

Apple Wizard Bar In London

Importing Evolution Messages

Thunderbird and Evolution use the same file format (called mbox) to store your mails, so its not difficult to import them manually.

  1. Open Nautilus.
  2. Open ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local which is where Evolution store your mails.
  3. Copy all the file without extension (such as Inbox, Outbox,.) into the emplacement used by Thunderbird to store its mail (something like ~/.thunderbird/uk41lql0.default/Mail/Local Folders,where you need to adapt uk41lql0.default to your own installation).
  4. Launch Thunderbird to check that all your mail have been correctly imported.

Importing Evolution Contacts

  1. Open your address book in Evolution, right-click on it and choose: Save as vcard… to export it into vCard file format.
  2. In Thunderbird, open the Tools > Import… menu, select Address Books and then vCard file (.vcf) and select your contact file.

If you are using a web-based application provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to access your email, you probably only need to configure your account information to switch to Thunderbird. See Manual Account Configuration for instructions.

Once you have configured your account in Thunderbird, you should be able to access all your messages (both incoming and sent). However, your address book (contacts), mail filters and other settings will not be automatically transferred to Thunderbird.

Some web-base email applications allow you to export contacts in text or comma-separated formats. Check your ISP's documentation for more information. To import contacts into Thunderbird, select Tools > Import… and follow the instructions on the screen.

  • Mac mini introduced in 2012 or later
  • iMac introduced in 2012 or later1
  • iMac Pro (all models)
  • Mac Pro introduced in 2013 or later

The latest macOS updates, which can include updates to Boot Camp Assistant. You will use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows 10.

64GB or more free storage space on your Mac startup disk: Update your macbook.

  • Your Mac can have as little as 64GB of free storage space, but at least 128GB of free storage space provides the best experience. Automatic Windows updates require that much space or more.
  • If you have an iMac Pro or Mac Pro with 128GB of memory (RAM) or more, your startup disk needs at least as much free storage space as your Mac has memory.2

An external USB flash drive with a storage capacity of 16GB or more, unless you're using a Mac that doesn't need a flash drive to install Windows.

A 64-bit version of Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro on a disk image (ISO) or other installation media. If installing Windows on your Mac for the first time, this must be a full version of Windows, not an upgrade.

  • If your copy of Windows came on a USB flash drive, or you have a Windows product key and no installation disc, download a Windows 10 disk image from Microsoft.
  • If your copy of Windows came on a DVD, you might need to create a disk image of that DVD.

How to install Windows 10 on Mac

To install Windows, use Boot Camp Assistant, which is included with your Mac.

1. Use Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition

Open Boot Camp Assistant, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder. Then follow the onscreen instructions.

  • If you're asked to insert a USB drive, plug your USB flash drive into your Mac. Boot Camp Assistant will use it to create a bootable USB drive for Windows installation.
  • When Boot Camp Assistant asks you to set the size of the Windows partition, remember the minimum storage-space requirements in the previous section. Set a partition size that meets your needs, because you can't change its size later.

2. Format the Windows (BOOTCAMP) partition

When Boot Camp Assistant finishes, your Mac restarts to the Windows installer. If the installer asks where to install Windows, select the BOOTCAMP partition and click Format. In most cases, the installer selects and formats the BOOTCAMP partition automatically.

3. Install Windows

Apple

Unplug any external devices that aren't necessary during installation. Then click Next and follow the onscreen instructions to begin installing Windows.

4. Use the Boot Camp installer in Windows

After Windows installation completes, your Mac starts up in Windows and opens a ”Welcome to the Boot Camp installer” window. Follow the onscreen instructions to install Boot Camp and Windows support software (drivers). You will be asked to restart when done.

  • If the Boot Camp installer never opens, open the Boot Camp installer manually and use it to complete Boot Camp installation.
  • If you have an external display connected to a Thunderbolt 3 port on your Mac, the display will be blank (black, gray, or blue) for up to 2 minutes during installation.

How to switch between Windows and macOS

Restart, then press and hold the Option (or Alt) ⌥ key during startup to switch between Windows and macOS.
