How to import emails and contacts from windows mail to thunderbird 8
Hello
I have Windows 8 and have been using the Windows 8 mail application. However, it is very basic, so I'm willing to switch to Thunderbird. However, I can't find a way to import my mail, folders and contacts to Thunderbird in Windows 8 Mail.
There seems to be no option to export on Windows 8 Mail. Thunderbird has an import option, but is not able to locate the files of Windows 8 e-mail.
It doesn't seem to be the answer to this question in the forums. Can anyone help?
Thank you
Mark
App to win 8 Mail is usually associated with ahotmail/live/outlook.com account, so to access it with TB, configure an IMAP account:

To import the contacts, open the web page account, export contacts to a csv file and follow the instructions here:

Automatically from hotmail/outlook represents messages copy sent to the folder "sent", uncheck "Place" a copy in. under the tools/account settings /hotmailaccount/Copies & records.

Import emails and contacts from the backed up .pst files
I am setting up a new computer with thunderbird. I have a outlook on my old machine. I saved emails and contacts from outlook to a USB stick to transfer. I'm not finding where I can import .pst files into thunderbird. He is not one of the options available in the menu/import wizard.
Dear Google/Thunderbird team! This is a very inadequate solution: there must be a way to secure all mails outside the Thunderbird! I set up my pc and I am not prepared to go the extra mile beside the work that requires a new configuration.
Now I have everything back to gmail, set up the pc, install the Thunderbirds one order some x-thousand mails AGAIN!
I love your products, but TB isn't really my preferred e-mail client!

I keep seeing that you can click on tools and export to export the address book contacts, but there is no such thing to click.
Right click - Properties - Customize - the contacts folder and choose the Contacts template. Now you find import and export on the command bar (it is not a tool or a toolbar).

How did your question related to Windows Update, Al?
You cannot import data from Windows Mail directly in Outlook. See...
How TO migrate [Windows mail] Outlook (when you have only the message store files)
http://www.HOWTO-Outlook.com/HOWTO/migratefromoewlm.htm#FILES_ONLYIn your case, you must first download/install Windows LIVE Mail and then import data from Windows Mail in this e-mail client. After that, you can EXPORT data from Windows LIVE Mail to Outlook (compared to import the data into Outlook).
Yes, this is all very confusing. Adding to the confusion:
1. you must set Windows LIVE Mail as your default for mail in CUSTOM (<>) item Set Program Access and computer by default in Win7 before any function send to or MailTo will become available.
2. you will find general support for all e-mail Win7 Clients in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7network/threads
3. you will find support for Windows Live Mail in this public newsgroup:
http://www.Microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?DG=Microsoft.public.Windows.live.mail.desktop4. you will find support for Outlook in these forums as well as in this public newsgroup:
