I'm about to change mail client from Windows Live Mail (WLM) to Thunderbird. The last few months the export function in WLM no longer works. This means that I can't add all my existing mails to Thunderbird the normal way using export / import. All the existing mails in WLM are stored as eml-filer in a map called Windows Live Mail. Could I use these eml-files to add the mails to Thunderbird? Could I do this addition already when installing Thunderbird or do I have to do it after the installation?

you will have to do it after, and the folder structure may well be lost.

use this too lhttps://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/

Basically create a folder in local folders in Thunderbird, right click and select importexporttools > import all messages from a directory > include sub directories.

Point the file picked to the folder with the EML files in it. wait and continue the scrip of it times out. I have seen this tool do that with very large folders of mail
