    Migrating emails from Outlook to Thunderbird used to feel like a daunting task for me because Outlook stores everything in PST files, while Thunderbird works with MBOX. Initially, I tried exporting emails manually, but it quickly became frustrating—especially with a large mailbox. I realized I needed a more reliable method.

    That’s when I started using a professional PST Converter Tool. The process was surprisingly easy: I could select multiple PST files at once, and the tool converted them to MBOX while keeping the original folder structure, attachments, and all email details intact. I didn’t have to worry about losing metadata like sender, recipient, or timestamps, which was a huge relief.

    For anyone looking for a secure and trustworthy solution, BLR Tools offers a user-friendly PST to MBOX Converter Tool that made my migration completely stress-free. It saved me hours of work and ensured that all my important emails were safely transferred to Thunderbird without any data loss.
