[pchelpers] Re: mail folder / thunderbird

Try this:
How do I export e-mail messages to another mail program or computer?

Thunderbird's mail files are in the standard plain text "mbox" format, 
which almost all mail programs can use or import. Many proprietary mail 
programs have a function to import from Eudora, which also uses the 
"mbox" format; this function should read your Mozilla mail files properly.

Your mail files are inside your profile (see the Profile Folder), in the 
Mail and (if you use IMAP) ImapMail folders. Each mail folder (Inbox, 
Sent, etc.) is stored as two files — one with no extension (e.g. INBOX), 
which is the mail file itself (in "mbox" format), and one with an .msf 
extension (e.g. INBOX.msf), which is the index (Mail Summary File) to 
the mail file. Tell the other program to import mail from the file with 
no extension.

If you want to transfer a mail file to another Mozilla profile or 
another installation of Mozilla, simply put the mail file into the other 
installation's Mail folder.
