Move SeaMonkey/Thunderbird e-mail to Outlook 2007 (without OE)

[Guardinner]

I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 and am trialling Office 2007
Professional. I currently use SeaMonkey as a browser/e-mail client but want
to move to Outlook 2007 because I prefer it. Is there a way to export my
mail from SeaMonkey (nee Thunderbird) to Outlook 2007 without using the old
Outlook Express/MS Mail method that has been about for a number of years?

Hi Karl,

Unfortunately I have seen most of this information already and they all
involve using an intermediary, whether it be Eudora, Outlook Express or some
other O/S - usually 'Mail' in Vista. I am beginning to think the simple
answer to my query is 'no, it cannot be done'.

Either way, thanks for taking the time to answer, I appreciate it.

You might want to take a look at the solution from these folks - seems they
cover your format for mail.

Well seeing as Outlook won't import Mozilla mail and Mozilla Mail won't
export to Outlook then you're going to HAVE to use some third-party
intermediary unless your Mail Provider offers IMAP email accounts. If they
do then you can use that in each client to move mail.
