How can I migrate my Thunderbird email to Outlook 2013 on a new computer? I am told I need to save the Thunderbird files as psd files - how do I do that?

I saw the instructions for moving email from Thunderbird to Outlook 2013 via gmail files but I have lots of folders. Microsoft says that if I can save the Thunderbird files as psd files, Outlook will read them. But I cannot see how to do this. Is it possible?

Do you have a link to the guidance that suggests you save to "psd" files?

I wonder if it actually said "pst" files - these are the proprietary file format used by Outlook. But you'll probably have to pay for a conversion utility.

It was telephone "technical support" so you are undoubtedly correct. I guess the only solution is to buy software or use gmail as someone suggested. Thanks for you very helpful reply. Very frustrating.
