Years ago I used to do a lot of repair work and would generally have two
or three machines on the bench at all times. Now, I'm lucky if I get one
repair a month.

I friend brought over his XP machine that he used only to access old
email.(offline) He runs a small business and often needs to get info
from old transactions.

Since the mobo was bad, I told him I could get him a better machine and
one that was ok to use on-line.
The only spare machine I had left was one running Win8.1 .

I recalled that Thunderbird had the the option to import mail from
Outlook Express. I also recall that I thought it dumb they had no option
to import from a previous version of Thunderbird other than to copy over
the whole profile.

Just now I installed the latest version and see there now is an option
to import from another Thunderbird...but no longer from OE >

LOL

Thankfully the Old Version website is still there and I was able to
import all of his stuff using Thunderbird 3.1

I figure that when support runs out for Win 8.1
he should be reasonably OK.

I installed Firefox and AVG

The machine is capable of running Win10 but is only a single core CPU so
for now at least I'm just leaving Win8.1

If you want Thunderbirds, all the old versions are available.

FYI, you probably could have imported the Outlook Express mail into
Windows Mail (needs Windows Vista or 7 IIRC) or Windows Live Mail (runs
on 8.1) and import that into Thunderbird with the ImportExportTools
Add-on:
<https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools?

N.B. The Add-on says "Works with Thunderbird 14.0 - 6.0.*" which may
not be new enough for you.

FWIW, I used the ImportExportTools Add-on to import my (exported)
Windows Mail (on Windows 7) to Thunderbird (on Windows 8.1).

Great.
Thanks

My buddy should be quite happy.

I know a lot of small book dealers and they depend on me to keep their
computers going.

As somebody that still mainly uses OE I also have Thurderbird so I need to
import OE messages. So I temporarily install Thunderbird Setup 17.0.8.exe
and importexporttools_ng-10.0.1-tb.xpi. I import and then I replace the
message files in my current Thunderbird installation. Make sure you protect
the current profiles before you do this. After I am done I just delete the
temporary version of Thunderbird. This is a little work. I like OE because
it is straight forward and the developers are not adding features or
screwing with it :-). Running OE on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.

I downloaded this a long time ago so it may not be there.

Thanks

This was more or less just a one time thing.
At any rate, it was nothing essential...but I did get it sorted out
