I recently tried to go back to Mail.app from Thunderbird but cannot for the life of me figure out how to get SOME of my emails, not all, to export back into Mail.app.

Any ideas?

I'm doing the same thing and found this workaround.

I created a folder on the desktop and drug the mbox files from thunderbird into it. Then from Mail I imported, selected "other" rather than netscape/mozilla, then I pointed it at the folder I created and it worked like a charm.

I tried moving my INBOX.mbox files in, and for some reason it imported a TON of JUNK that wasn't even in my Inbox, it almost seemed like the INBOX file was the JUNK file.

I'll try that again.

Thanks!
