How do I import mail and contacts from Mozilla Thunderbird to the Win10 Mail app.

At least you should be able to sync both to the same server, can even use both concurrently.

Using the TbSync add-on (and its Exchange ActiveSync component which is another add-on these days), Thunderbird can sync to regular Microsoft accounts – I’ve tested with a free @outlook.com account recently, and previously with a 365 E3 account.

I haven’t looked into how Win10 Mail stores things locally.

@wsanders-family, Why would you wish to use Windows 10 mail app with contacts over Thunderbird? Mozilla Thunderbird has a calendar, contacts and secure digital signing of emails using OpenPGP. Just curious

Windows - commercial by definition and now function...

Reason why I was thinking of using Mail App. First I already have a “Primary” email account that I run on GMAIL where I do all my important stuff. I have a separate account on Thunderbird that I occasionaly use for things that are not that important to me, so don’t need a lot of fancy stuff on it. Since “mail app” is already installed on Win10 and I can’t get rid of it, I decided to use that in order to keep my PC clean and not run more software that I really need.

Of course you can.

You can remove all these apps.

Wow. I didn’t know that you can delete these Windows apps. Nice. I have now removed Windows Mail and Calendar (along with a few more Win10 apps). Sticking with Thunderbird.

Also will be using the Win10App program to clean up another PC that I use.

Thanks.
