How do I move from Mozilla Thunderbird to Apple Mail for email??

Hi,
I am currently using Thunderbird from Mozilla & I would like to use Apple's Mail application for sending and receiving my email.
I tried to import Thunderbird but it did not work. I would also like to import the subfolders where I saved email messages in Thunderbird but I can not seem to figure out how to do that either. I would also like to import my Thuderbird addresses.
If anyone is familiar with how to set up Mail from Thunderbird, please advise. Also, could you please be specific because I am new to MacIntosh. I used PC's for years until I got tired of Microsoft.
Thanks in advance,
relaxed

See if this will help. It's from http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050402143519725
Navigate to ~/Library: Thunderbird: Profiles: your_profile: Mail: Local Folders. Identify the mailboxes you seek to use in Mail.app.
Each mailbox has three pieces to it - i.e. inbox.sbd, inbox.msf and inbox with no extension.
Take the file with no extension, hold down the Option key (so it also stays in the folder) and drag it to the desktop.
Rename this copy with .mbox as the file extension. For example, inbox becomes inbox.mbox.
Open Mail.app and select File: Import, choose Other, and navigate to the desktop and click Choose. Choose the file you just renamed. Your mailbox(es) should appear in the import window and will import into Mail.app.

  • How to stream movies from hard drive to apple tv

    I have an external hard drive connected to my Airport Extreme, which works for my Time Capsule and saving files wirelessly; however, I do not know how to access the movies I have on it via my Apple TV or iPhones without having my laptop open using HomeSharing. Is there a way to access the files directly from the network hard drive?

    For transferring videos you could use 'Video Transfer App'. I'm the developer of this universal application (iPhone/iPad) that let's you transfer videos from your iPad or computer directly to another iPhone or iPad.
    The app is currently in the Top 25 iPad apps in the photography category.
    Here are couple of videos that show how the app works:

  • Move contacts from Mozilla thunderbird to. iPad

    Unable to find info on exporting my email contact list  from mozilla thunderbird to my new iPad
          Thanks for any help,

    Not sure exactly what you mean by "move" (or what the circumstances are), but the easiest way to get those on the iPad would be to sync them via iCloud (turn on contacts in iCloud on both devices).

  • How do I move from one website to another using Safari, while still allowing Pandora to provide music in the background? It seems that when ever I open a new URL, I lose Pandora.

    How do I move from one website to another using Safari, while still allowing Pandora to provide music in the background? It seems that when ever I open a new URL, I lose Pandora.

    Try running Pandora in its own tab and leaving that tab open (Safari 7.1.5, OS 10.9.5).  I don't have Pandora to try this, but it works for me otherwise.
    Good luck

  • How can I transfer all my files from Mavericks Thunderbird to Mavericks Mail

    How can I transfer all my files from Mavericks Thunderbird to Mavericks Mail?
    Bonjour,
    C'est ma première intervention aussi je ne sais pas si je peux m'exprimer en français.
    Je tente!
    Lors du passage à Maveicks, j'ai basculé sur Thunderbird car je ne souhaitais pas utiliser POP mais Mail ne le permettait pas (du moins je n'ai pas réussi)
    Aujourd'hui, je souhaite revenir sur Mail et, pour celà, je dois rapatrier toutes mes données de messagerie depuis Thunderbird.
    J'utilise Imap et, pour gérer ma messagerie, j'ai créé des boîtes aux lettres dans Local Folsders
    Le passage par Eudora ne fonctionne pas avec Mavericks.
    L'import de boîtes aux lettres depuis Local Folders de Thunderbird (via le menu Fichier) ne permet de transférer qu'un seul courier par boîte aux lettres de Local Folders. Et c'est ce qui m'empêche de passer à Mail.
    Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

    How to transfer movies from my Apple Mac to my ipad.?

    Where are these movies? what format do they have?
    You'll need to Import them into iTunes, and sync them through there if they aren't in itunes already.
    Yoiu may need to convert them to a playable format for the iPad. If its a video format itunes support, you ncan make playable versions for iPad from within iPad.
    Alternatively if you find a Video App such as Moli Player you can import them into the App through iTunes File sharing as well without having to change their format. Moli player is capable of playing many types of videos and audio formats.

    Connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select and sync your film the iPad's Videos app. If it says that it isn't compatible with the iPad then try doing Advanced > Create iPad Version and then try syncing that version over.

  • B2B Arch - How the Messages move from the Servlet to IP_IN_QUEUE

    Hi all,
    I am having one basic architectural question.
    We have defined the Host Trading partner with the Delivery channel having the URI for the transport as b2b/transportServlet. While creating the agreement between this host trading partner with the other remote trading partner, we are using the standard Internal delivery channel as B2B Inbound, as we are doing the inbound interface. So, whatever the Inbound messages is coming from the remote trading partner it will enqueued into IP_IN_QUEUE.
    I referred some of the documents, to know the architectural details how the message come into the IP_IN_QUEUE. Those document says that b2b/transportServlet is the entry point for all the Inbound messages. Please correct me if I am wrong. I am more interested to know what are all the intermediate steps involved in the movement fo the message from the b2b/transportServlet to IP_IN_QUEUE. Basically how the message move from b2b/transportServlet to the IP_IN_QUEUE.

    Hi,
    The transportServlet hand over the b2b message via RMI to the B2B Server. The B2B Server then process this message and delivers it to the IP_IN_QUEUE.
