how to import FROM Thunderbird and Betterbird
I have a bunch of mailaccounts with different domains on Thunderbird that I want to migrate here - ie away from Thunderbird.. I can make a zip in Thunderbird with the lot but I can find nowhere to import neither as zip nor anything else?
Also I have even more on Betterbird - and old folders - that I want to migrate to have all in one (European) place, but can find nothing about how. Again from Betterbird to here.
I use POP for both so the stuff is on my machine and not online anywhere. (There is absolutely no way I'll use grand thief Google to move anything, even if I understood the explanation).
I want out of Thunderbird as I do not consider it safe. I changed pc from win to linux, handclearing it first, and somehow T knew my accounts and mails and imported it as soon as I opened Thunderbird. No way possible to have found it on machine as it had been reset byte by byte, so it must have been copied and saved elsewhere and not by me nor with my consent. So I want out.
when I migrated from outloook there was a special program for it. seems to be here as well only not mentioning Thunderbird nor Betterbird as something you want to leave.
I have the domains, accounts etc on my webhotel with my webpages, but want something like this (or rahter like the old outlook) for mails.
The same question 
Hello,
Mailbox.org suggest using Auriga service which according to the documentation, it may work with POP3 accounts ad well https://kb.mailbox.org/en/private/account/audriga-your-e-mail-migration-service/
There appears to be a manual migration process as well which is in the same link. If you go for the the manual migration, try a few amount if emails first.
Before attempting anything, make sure you have a recent backup of your emails just in case something happens during the migration.

Fred.

Hello,
I have heard that if one adds the new email account (in this case Mailbox) to Thunderbird using IMAP, you can just drag and drop the emails from one account to the other and the emails will be automatically transfered. I do not know if it is going to work if you are transferring from POP3 in one account to IMAP in Mailbox, but you may try doing the drag and drop with just one email first. Once that email is in your Mailbox account in Thunderbird, access Mailbox through a browser to see if the email shows up.
I have heard that it is a good practice to drag and drop emails in batches to avoid errors. There is a chance that transferring a lot of emails at once may fail or Thunderbird may look unresponsive.
This appears to be another approach to do the migration https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1436265
I have not tried any of the above so I cannot guarantee that is going to work, but you may give it a try with a small amount of emails or you can send yourself a test email with some text and a file attached, and try the drag and drop option.

Fred.
