[QUOTE="dang42, post: 679562, member: 59241"] [b]thunderbird export[/b] I have the same problem. I do not think it would be hard, but can't find anyone who's already done it. Step 1 would be to export your Thunderbird mail filters: [URL="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/2474"]there is a Thunderbird add-on for that[/URL]. Step 2 would be to translate between that format and the Apple mail "rule" format, which you can find in ~/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist . Personally I would write a Python program to do this. Then, I think, Step 3 would be to simple replace the file from Step 2 with your newly generated file and fire up Apple Mail. There are probably some gotchas here. If I ever get around to actually doing this, I'll let you know. Hopefully you can do the same. -Dan [/QUOTE]
