I need to import email from Mail to Thunderbird. Is it possible? I like Thunderbird, the clean interface and it seems to be much less sluggish than Mail. However I have 3 years worth of email than I need to move over. Alternatively, can anyone tell me if Entourage 2004 can import from Mail?

Thanks for your help!
