Export email from Opera 9 to other email client (Thunderbird, Eudora, Outlook)

Hi all,
i would like to know if is there a way of export email and news message from opera 9 to other email client like Thunderbird, Eudora or Outlook Express.
Thanks in advance

Welcome to Opera and the forums...

You can export Opera's messages in a filter by right-clicking on a filter in the Mail panel and selecting Export.

Opera saves its messages in a standard format called mbs (or mbox). Most clients should be able to import this file format; and if not there are several third-party conversion tools that will convert mbs to another format.

Sorry for the "noobness" but how can I import that mbs file to Outlook? And the two third-party conversion tools I tried didn't work very well.

Does someone have a well-succeeded case to report to us?

Which program can import mbs files?

I meant e-mail program so I could import the mail database and then export it as something else. I tried aid4mail and didn't like the results.

MBS files are a common type, many of your mail programs can import them.

Eudora (get in sponsored mode for your work)

I have the mail database in Eudora's format (mbx) now. I'll have too see how will I convert it to Outlook's format (pst?).

you can imprt/export among eudora, thunderbird and outlook.

How do I do that? Exporting from Eudora.
I tried to import to Outlook and Outlook Express and it didn't let me. I don't know, I'm lost here...

Ok, I think I lost focus of your original query.
You need to transfer emails from operaM2 to other clients like eudora,thunderbird,outlook. right?

1. Opera to Eudora (mbx) , you have done.
2. Thunderbird can easily import all eudora settings,mailboxes using import feature. Also, it can import isngle mbx file. Just play with thunderbird import tool, you should get it.
3.For importing to outlook from eudora or mbx files see this: http://anrcs.ucdavis.edu/Email_Options-_Life_After_Eudora_6-1/Windows_email-_Import_Eudora_to_Outlook.htm

4. if you want to play games of transferring, you can again switch back to thunderbird from outlook. http://support.real-time.com/tbird/outlook_import.html

That should answer all of your queries.

As a personal opinion, I like Eudora(as used for long time in sponsored mode) and Thunderbird is the best in terms of growing features and usuability. I don't like MS products like outlook because if any viruses attack, it will attack outlook first.guarunteed.

thanks.

Much thanks. I will try that.

I haven't been able to figure out how this should work. Eudora 7.1 does import PST, LDIF, DBX, NCH, JS, WAB - not MBS (the Opera format).
Trying to switch from M2 to Moz TB. Any advices?

Opera exports to a standard plain text format. Most email clients can import it just fine because it's a standard format, and not some weird Opera stuff.
