Convert Thunderbird to Outlook/Exchange
Address Magic Enterprise
Address Magic Enterprise (AME) provides a complete solution for migrating client-side Thunderbird and Mozilla address books and email to Microsoft Outlook for 100 to 100,000 mailboxes. AME is designed to minimize deployment costs by running hands-off with its unique Configure Once, Run Everywhere design. AME can convert Thunderbird data to either an Outlook PST file, an Exchange mailbox, or a combination of the two. AME adapts itself to your migration strategy by supporting both centralized (bulk) and client-side operation modes.
Product Features
Multiple Address Book Conversion - AME automatically finds all address books and copies each address book individually to Outlook. All folder names are preserved except the default address book, which is copied to the Outlook default contacts folder.
Contact Information Conversion - All contact information is converted, including phone numbers, postal addresses, comments, multiple email addresses and more. Thunderbird distribution lists are converted to Outlook distribution lists.
Folder Hierarchy Conversion - The Thunderbird folder structure is duplicated in Outlook, including nested folders. Special folders, such as the In and the Out folder, are copied to the appropriate folders in Outlook, such as Inbox and Sent Items.
Full-Featured Email Conversion - Both text and HTML messages will be converted appropriately to Outlook. Attachments and embedded images will also be converted intact.
International Support - International character sets are fully supported, included Far East languages like Japanese and Chinese.
Message Date Conversion - AME correctly converts all dates such as sent, received, and downloaded, including time zone compensation.
Raw Data Conversion - AME can convert Thunderbird address books and email even if Thunderbird isn't installed. Administrators can point AME at an arbitrary directory for conversion.
Configure Once, Run Everywhere™ (CORE) - Address Magic Enterprise automatically configures itself to each client machine. For Thunderbird, AME finds the default data folder, finds the address books, finds the email folders, and finds all all child email folders. For Outlook, AME automatically determines the default profile and the location of the PST file or Exchange mailbox. Therefore the same command line works on each workstation and no individual configuration is required.
Exchange Server Direct Access - For centralized conversions, AME directly opens each user's Exchange Mailbox and inserts contacts, folders, and messages. It is not necessary to create a profile for each mailbox being converted.
Server-side Conversion - For the migration of server-side mailboxes, AME supports IMAP mailboxes, including administrator password overrides.
Market-Leading Performance - AME uses the lowest-level programming interfaces for the highest possible performance.
Non-destructive Conversion - The data in Thunderbird will not be changed in any way and Thunderbird will continue to function normally after the conversion.
PDA-Compatible Conversion - Contacts in Outlook are automatically reformatted to Outlook standards. This ensures that synchronization applications will have the correct data to perform PDA synchronization.
Typical Configuration
The most common configuration for running Address Magic is to convert Thunderbird mail archives to a local Outlook PST file and and the address books to the Exchange mailbox. Here are the command lines that do this: (Note that PST is a generic identifier and does not necessarily refer to a PST file.)
C:\> addrload -m tb Archive.pst C:\> addrload tb pst
You'll notice that there are no profile names, path names, user names, or any other user-specific configuration. Everything is determined automatically at run time.
