See claws-mail/tbird2claws.py at master ยท Tux/claws-mail and after running, restart. If you're not comfortable doing this, seek another solution because reversing is difficult although a disc clone would work if you've created it.

You need to download the Python script as mentioned by @Corday and then use the following command to execute it: Code: python <path>\tbird2claws.py . <path to claws-mail>\Mail These instructions were part of the .py file, please see below: #The script receives two parameters from command-line: #<Thunderbird folder path> <Claws Mail folder path> #Best way to use it is to go to inside yout Thunderbird #root mailfolder directory and invoke it as: #<path>\python3 <path>\tbird2claws.py . <path to claws-mail>\Mail Click to expand... If you wish to import your address books and mail filtering rules, then you will need to install Perl and then download and execute following Perl scripts. Code: csv2addressbook.pl thunderbird-filters-convertor.pl These files are available from the same page which @Corday suggested earlier. You can run the Perl script in a similar way to Python.
