Hi, i am new to Thunderbird and am trying to import my mbox emails into Thunderbird. i have pointed the app to the folder and found the mbox files. the app imports the mailboxes but only seems to show 3-5 of the emails! each mbox file has about 2000 emails and its key for me to keep these for my records.

has anybody seen this before and is there a solution other then moving to Outlook?

Thanks.

Are you using the import export tools add-on? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/
