Mesage capacity.

Question

I tried to move from Eudora 7 to Thunderbird. The latter did not accept an import of the messages in my various boxes - too many. Since the new Eudora is based on Thunderbird I would like to know if I could expect the same problem. My messages folder has 412 items and I expect the average box has something like 20 or so messages in it - but a few many more.

Answer 1

As far as I know, Thunderbird doesn't have a message limit regarding the Import function. As long as the file is compatible and ready for import, you can use it without any errors.

However, here's a tweak you can use: make a backup copy of the folder and then use it in order to load the files. This way you will keep the original file/folder intact and if something happens you will always have the original file/folder.
