📥 Overview

Importing your email accounts into Mailbird is quick and straightforward. This is particularly useful if you're using a POP3 email address, where data could be lost if not properly transferred. Stick with us, and we’ll guide you through the process step by step.

⚠️ Note: Mailbird currently supports importing email accounts from Thunderbird, Outlook, Windows Live Mail, and IncrediMail only.

If you see an error like "Nothing to import," this typically means Mailbird could not detect your original email profile. Please ensure that your email profile hasn’t been moved from its default location.

📌 Importing offline files or folders to an IMAP account is currently not supported.

🔧 How to Import Your Account

1. Before you start, make sure that the account you want to import is not already added to Mailbird.

2. Click the Mailbird menu (three horizontal lines) in the top-left corner.

3. Select Settings.

4. Navigate to the Accounts tab.

5. Click on Add.

6. Click on the Import button.

7. Choose the email account you wish to import.

❗ If your account is missing from the list:

• It may not be set up as IMAP or POP3.

• It may already exist in your Mailbird setup.

7. Enter your password.

8. Click Continue and wait for the import process to complete.

🔄 Importing Emails to an Existing POP3 Account

You can also import messages into an already existing POP3 account. Here's how:

1. Go to the Mailbird menu > Settings > Accounts.

2. Double-click on your existing POP3 account.

3. Click on Import messages.

4. Select the files or accounts you wish to import (Mailbird supports .pst, .eml, or .msf files).

5. Wait for the import to finish.

The imported messages will appear in a dedicated Imported folder inside your email account.
