The best method to export Thunderbird into Outlook PST is to convert Thunderbird’s MBOX files into PST format, because Thunderbird does not support PST export by default.

 

Thunderbird stores emails in MBOX format, while Outlook uses PST, so a direct export is not possible. Manual methods work only for very small mailboxes and often cause missing folders or attachments.

 

A reliable solution is Advik Thunderbird Converter. It allows you to export Thunderbird emails into Outlook PST while keeping the original folder structure, email properties, and attachments intact. The tool also offers a free trial version, which lets you check the accuracy of the conversion before exporting the full mailbox.

 

Once the PST file is created, you can open it easily in Outlook and access all your Thunderbird emails without errors.

Converting MBOX to CSV can indeed be tricky because email headers, attachments, and metadata often get missed during manual extraction.

If you prefer a free approach, you can first open the MBOX file in Mozilla Thunderbird and then use an export add-on to export selected emails to CSV. However, this method may require multiple steps and can become difficult when handling large mailboxes.

For a more reliable option, I personally found RecoveryTools MBOX Converter helpful because it directly converts MBOX files to CSV while preserving email fields like subject, sender, date, and attachments.

It also supports bulk conversion and advanced filters, which makes it much easier when you are dealing with large MBOX archives.
