I am trying to fix things for my mother. For some reason emails and folders started disappearing in Oulook, so I ran all the scans. My bf then took over and he believes it's because she had a bunch of subfolders and Outlook as problems with that. Well we were able to save the emails and folders and I figured out that we could use undbx to get them back to a more normal state. Well now they are all sitting on the desktop in a file, but I can't figure out how to get them onto Mozilla Thunderbird, which we decided to switch to. If I copy the folder into the profile it sees the folders, but not the emails. I'm figuring that I need to find a way to get it into msf format, or find a program that's easier to put them on, then import to Thunderbird.

undbx as I understand it deals with outlook express DBX files by converting them into individual EMLs file one per email.

Based on that understanding install the import export tools add-on using the instructions here.

Note that F10 makes the menu bar visible so you can access the tools menu where the add-on installs.
