Help please! The latest updates to OS (El capitan) mean that I can no longer get my web mail directed to mac mail - it won't reliably receive and send vis mac mail. I want to switch to Thunderbird. I have imported the inbox (from my old mac mail) and that works fine but can not see how to import all the old emails I have stored on mac mail folders.

Thanks.
