Outlook Express *.dbx files import into Thunderbird?

[~Divine~Wind~]

Well my xp install went wonky and spent a while replacing files, botting other PC, locatin files replacing files to the extent now that outlook express will now not open.

I have recvered all of the .dbx files from the outlook express settings folder.

Can I use these to rebuild my folders/mail/settings in thunderbird or will I need to install outlook express and export them all?

Anyone done this before?

thats the thing,

This PC is vista and as such no outlook express.
just need to make sure I can retreive the mails before I nuke the xp machine

hey thanks for the info, Ive been back and forthe between thunderbird,vista mail and outlook...

Errors on all of them

I only have the .dbx files not the exported files which I think is why I might be seeing these troubles, nuked the xp machine, Acronis to the rescue!

not sure whats gone on then tbh lol.

The copying of the dbx's back into outlook has restred everything but account settings and message rules.

Gonna rebuild completely then see what export options I have.
