I think i have found a way to fix this problem for my emails. I have found a usefull utility that converts all outlook messages into eml files. These files can be imported using the import / export tools: https://freeshell.de//~kaosmos/mboximport-en.html into Thunderbird, i now have all my outlook messages imported into Thunderbird with the same folder structure.
