My Evo version is: 3.30.1 and I am set up for POP3 using ATT.com
serrver
I have many, many saved emails organized in hundreds of sub-folder
hierarchies in Thunderbird 60.4.0. I believe the Thunderbird formt is
Mbox while the Evo system is using Maildir.
For two weeks I have been trying Evolution and really like the UI, but I
have been unsuccessful in migrating the Thunderbird emails to Evolution.
There are far too many to use the GUI within Evo which only appears to
move one file at a time. Also, I have searched these mailing list
archives for solutions and have tried them. No luck.
I have tried two methods:
1. Copied the Saved_Mail.sbd folder (my top-level saved mail folder)
from Thunderbird
Home\thunderbird\xxxxxx.default\Mail\Local Folders\Saved_Mail.sbd
into the Evolution "local" folder resulting in
Home\.local\share\evolution\mail\local\Saved Mail.sbc
2. Created a folder "Saved_Mail" using the Evolution GUI and then copied
the contents of the Thunderbird "Saved Mail.sbd" over to the Evolution
"Saved_Mail" folder. In addition to the copied files, I see the "cur",
"new" and "tmp" files in the Evo "Saved_Mail" folder, indicating the
Maildir structure.
Some people have mentioned that the file to copy over is the file within
the Thunderbird "Saved Mail.sbd" folder that doesn't have any extension;
"Saved Mail. " in my case. But, this file is empty (size = 0)??
What am I doing wrong? Other people have mentioned that they have
successfully moved a folder hierarchy over to Evolution. Is it because
Evo is now using a different email method than Thunderbird (maildir vs
mbox)? If so, how do I compensate for this?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Really want to move from TB to
Evo.
Thanks,
Bill
