New Feature Announcement:

Outlook and Thunderbird Account Import

That’s right! Starting today, folders, settings, and messages from popular POP3 email clients like Outlook and Thunderbird will import automagically when connected. That means that any folders, emails, or anything else we can bring into Mailbird through your other client’s POP3 or IMAP connection can be instantly imported with the click of a button!

Import
Importing is now auto-magic!

We’ve had a ton of requests for this feature, and it has taken a lot of time and manpower to make sure that this feature will work for every possible client and version. It’s taken a ton of time to ensure every version of Outlook, Thunderbird and Windows Live Mail will work. We are ecstatic that it is finally ready for you!

Start Importing automagically

Once you installed Mailbird or chose the option to “add another account”, Mailbird will give the option to “import from another email client”.

Mailbird will detect the accounts that you have added to your existing email client. Choose the account you would like to import to your Mailbird.

The last step to activate the import – insert your email address and password and Mailbird will set up the account for you. Depending on how many accounts you have selected in the previous step, you may be asked to enter the details multiple times. One for each account.
