With Thunderbird's Import Tool, you can import settings and data from a variety of sources including Thunderbird profiles, other applications or certain files. For example, you can use this tool to migrate accounts, messages, address books, calendars and settings into your current Thunderbird application. The Import Tool also works hand in hand with Thunderbird's Export Tool.
