I have Thunderbird 115.6.1 SUPERNOVA on a Pop_OS installation.

I want to import an Outlook 2016/2019 .pst-file so I was following this article: https://support.mozilla.org/sv/kb/thunderbird-import

Using the import tool I should be able to select Import from Outlook, but that alternative doesnt even show up in my Thunderbird. I only have import from TB, SeaMonkey and address book from file...

What am I missing?

Thnx in advance.

I do not know why that option does not appear, but you may want to read this article: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_.pst_files Thunderbird does not have the ability to import pst files alone, but is dependent on Outlook being installed on the same PC. I cannot give you more information than that, although if you do a web search, there are several options to convert PST to Thunderbird, such as this one: https://www.wikihow.com/Import-a-PST-File-to-Thunderbird

Then it doesnt really matter that the alternative doesnt show up. I will check that link out thank you.

mailstore has been suggested elsewhere as a possible solution.
