Should be able to export to .PST for mail etc, .CSV for contacts. .PST might be able to do both.

Yeah, in thunderbird just got to file, export, and export email and contacts, then import into outlook, works fine. I transfered mine using this method to Vista Mail.

Rookies, I have been using Thunderbird for quite a long time now and have used most if the features and I cannot see how to export the data. Thunderbird does not use the same files as Outlook. You could try asking on the Mozilla Forums as there is a lot of detailed knowledge there. mind you, I would want to stay with Thunderbird though. It's a pretty good client and has lots of support, unlike M$

After a little look, it appears that Thunderbird doesnt have this feature but Netscape does.
Have a look here

Its a bit long winded to export to Outlook though. The route appears to be:
Thunderbird -> Netscape -> Outlook Express -> Outlook
