Think you have to export as csv from thunderbird then import to Outlook 2007 using "import from another program", then confirm the headers.

Should work.

Might be worth setting up a Yahoo Mail account as part of a work around:

should have worked but 1/2 the info is missing for some reason.

I believe the issue is that Outlook can't import and of the files the Thunderbird can export.

I guess the only solution is to use an intermediary program/service like Yahoo or Gmail to convert Thunderbird's output to something that Outlook can read.

Good luck.
