10.4: Migrate from Mail.app 2.0 to Thunderbird
Authored by: tim-wood-MacOSXH on Nov 18, '05 01:40:18PM

There's another solution. If the people who handle your email offer imap as an option, switch to using imap.

You can then copy all your messages to the server by dragging them to the new folder that represents in Mail.app that represents your imap account.

Once you've done that, it's simply a matter of installing another email program (Thunderbird and Outlook both support imap) and entering your account information.

In the FWIW category, both Thunderbird and Mail.app allow you to store copies of your imap messages locally so you can still have them when you don't have a net connection.
