I can only import emails from outlook express to TB for one identity. How do I import emails for my other account identities?
I'm using a portable version of Thunderbird because I want to use TB to collect emails for a few different accounts that I have scattered on different machines. For example I have account1@mailserver.com on machine one and machine two. Account2@mailserver.com is also on machines one and two. After setting up accounts one and two in the portable app I can only import the messages for account one. I have tried many times over the last two days. Thunderbird does not want to import the messages for account two. What do I need to do to import emails for multiple accounts into Thunderbird?

Does this method for identities apply to your setup?
Keep in mind also that OE messages are eml files that can be dragged directly from Explorer to a TB folder, e.g. one created under Local Folders.

When I read it I thought, of course. TB could be importing the main identity. My "account one" is the main identity. I will try again tomorrow and let you know , but it sounds right. thank you
Yes your solution worked sfhowes. Thank you. In Outlook Express I changed the identity so that it was the main identity and then I was able to import the messages from the correct account.
