    Gave that a try BB but no luck,It creates the new folder in Thunderbird but all the messages in the folder of the hotmail account don't get added at all.Even the messages from the "Sent" Folder are not added.Only thing it seems to actually add is the inbox.Perhaps i should make a topic in the "alternate e-mail/browser" area maybe someone out there has figured it out.

    You may have to import them manually. use the import feature to import them from outlook to Thunderbird. (CLick tools/import/MAIL/Outllook Express/Click Next)

    I tried it and it imported every folder I created. For example I created a new folder in Outlook Express called "Fart Sniffer Folder"

    Then I moved some messages into that folder.

    I then went into Thunderbird and did the following:
    (CLick tools/import/MAIL/Outllook Express/Click Next)



    That imported several new folders and files. My fart sniffer folder was in the mess. I did this 2 or 3 times and it imported the folders (some of the same ones) with no problems.

    That *should* work.

    Then just click and drag that new folder up into the Hotmail Inbox area.
