Anyone know how to do this? I was able to convert Outlook Express, no problem, works great.
I researched converting to ThunderbirdPortable and all the examples I found with Google don't work. There must be a way, export to something and then import?

Hi, Ken:
"Didn't work" covers a lot of ground. Couldn't find files, got an error, new app showed no mail, can't log in, turned my machine purple, etc.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Move_a_profile_to_Portable_Thunderbird
is pretty much the authoritative reference, but it's 4 years old and probably out of date, while
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/thunderbird/install-migrate-and-u...
is pretty much the support site.
I haven't tried this, but would be glad to help you guess what's happening...

When I migrated a bunch of users from Thunderbird to Outlook365 I used a local IMAP server. It was a simple case of adding the IMAP server to the client and dragging the emails up. Then install on the new client and drag back down.
I used hMailServer: https://www.hmailserver.com/
