I have some of the same Tbird frustrations you described in this post. So I am curious what made you decide in your follow-up comment in April that you were going to stick with Thunderbird? Also, for anyone who uses Entourage, do you know if it displays Bcc: fields the same way Outlook does - as in, if I Bcc several people on a message, and then I go into my Sent Mail and open the message, I can see to whom it's already been sent. WIth Mac Mail I never found a way for this to work, which is why I have used Thunderbird instead. Thanks to all for any advice! Hi, I am also considering switching from Thunderbird to Entourage.

Drag the mbox files into Entourage’s sidebar where other local folders are located. I think it’s called ‘On My Computer’

The address book one I’m not to sure about right now, I may have to look into it.

I tried to rename and drag Thunderbird folders to .mbx, and drag into Entourage, but I'm not sure exactly WHERE in Entourage (e.g. in the actual open application, or into the application file under Finder??), Also, in Outlook address book, you can display Card view, which for me works better than a linear view, but I can't figure out how to do that in Entourage. (I'm kind of a PCer, converting to Mac, but still hanging onto MS apps...possibly dangerous) Hi there,

All I did was add .mbx to all my Thunderbird mailboxes and then drug them into Entourage and it all imported. No conversion to text. Additionally, I only lasted in Entourage for a few weeks at the most. Back to Thunderbird. Dave.

It is completely inferior to the awesome Mail.app thread view (which summarizes data of most recent mail in a thread, or doesn't display a whole thread at all if there is only one message in it).
