Thunderbird stores messages in the standard mailbox format, so PowerMail should
be able to import that directly. Choose "Thunderbird" as the import format,
then PowerMail should direct you to Thunderbird's mail folder (something like
"{home}/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/{something.default}/Mail/Local Folders").
Select this folder and import. A new folder called "Local Folder" should be
created, and should contain all your Thunderbird mailboxes as subfolders.

"I'm using FoxTrot for a while now and I'm very pleased with its results.
It indexes files (by name, metadata and content) that are not indexed by
other app like Spotlight, HoudahSpot, Moru, etc. That includes the
contents of packages, like the files stored in DEVONthink or Scrivener.
For someone that needs to acess these kind of files and preview some of
them (mail, pdfs, rtf, docs, or even xls in a very strange way) this is
a very useful application that saves you a lot of time."
