[QUOTE="Rednax, post: 1005136, member: 145134"] Hi all, I'm trying to convert Windows Mail (the mail client that ships with Vista) to Mac Mail. I've read several forum posts that suggest doing this through Thunderbird. I installed Thunderbird on the PC and got it to import all of the Windows Mail. I then installed Thunderbird on the Mac and copied over the profile/mail files and that worked great, I can now see all the mail on the mac in Thunderbird. Next I should be able to use the Mac Mail "Import Mailboxes" command which then gives me the option of "Thunderbird" and I point it to the proper profile folder and it gives me the option to select/import each mail box (Inbox, drafts, sent, etc) However, when the import completes after a few minutes, I only have one message in each of the Import mail folders instead of the 100's I should have. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
