Thank you so much – why don’t the Mozilla people make this easier?

The imported messages were all marked as ‘read’ and lost their tags like ‘important’. Also the subdirectory structure is flattened. Is there any way around this?

I could first sort messages into separate folders in evolution but that’s tedious since I have lots of folders.

Finally, are there any other calendar programs? ‘m wary of versions under 1.0.

Your Evolution crashed could be due to some of the attachment contained within the mails. You have to find out that problem email first before migrating to TB.

Hey,
Be very carefull when copying the files from evolution to thunderbird! I did this and from a certain date, all mails before were rubbish. TB started crashing seemingly random, removing all rubbish mails did the trick.

I don’t know the exact reason. But I switched to TB because evolution was crashing randomly, so this would probably been the problem.
