Hello List,

is there a secure (and easy) to migrate from Mozilla Mail to Mozilla
Thunderbird ?

Thanks in advance,

Yes, in fact, Mozilla Mail and Mozilla Firefox use the same mail format, so you can simply copy your mail folder from one profile to another. First you need to find where your mozilla profile was stored (probably something like ~/.mozilla/foo/foo/mail) and then copy that folder into your thunderbid profile's mail folder (probably something like ~/.thunderbird/foo/foo/mail) If that doesn't work, do a google search- it's a pretty common operation that's probably covered in detail on mozilla forums.

or use IMAP and don't worry about email format for various mail clients (and use number of mail clients at the same time, access mail remotely etc.)
