Chosen solution

ok i ve solve my problem

I succeeds I let the manipulations here , ca interresser people can see that there is no tutorial /

So here is my tutorial signed it myself I discovered in galerant well :

- create a gmail address set to IMAP - Thunderbird to parameterize it also manages the new gmail address

From here all the manipulations are done on thunderbird

- Writing the existing files in your various email addresses in the new gmail address - Copy / paste messages from your different folders to the corresponding folders in your gmail box

we leave thunderbird

- Open your mailbox ( outlook , msn , hotmail ) from a web page

- Click on " parameters "

- Click on " other parameters mail "

- " Inporter mail accounts "

- " Gmail and contatcs "

your mailbox will sync with gmail and recover all folders gmail . you can find on outlook 2013. The disadvantage is that on outlook 2013 I did not find how to move a folder of an email address to another . So I synced my mail addresses turn with the gmail . I had all my imported files this way. I then delete the files that had nothing to do in my separate e-mail addresses (eg file "1(at)hotmail.com" has nothing to do in the address "2(at)msn.com")

voilou

no loss of data , all files are stored , no date of reception changed. I tried by downloading the software but it still has a blocking step .

It may be better , easier or anything ... But I find no tutorial so I created this one since I discovered here in testing .

Thank you anyway for the help

you can send people here if they have any questions of this kind .

Thunderbird and MS Outlook are quite different email platform with distinct file format. Thunderbird supports MBOX file while Outlook stores all emails in PST file format.

So, MBOX to PST conversion method is required to apply on Thunderbird files. Then output PST file can be imported in MS outlook. To know, how this process takes place in live scenario find at:
