Migrating from Thunderbird to Mail; the easiest way!

After a couple of years I finally switched to OSX at work as well. The computer is a G5 and is not as snappy as my MacIntel from home, but the machine is a reliable one.

No more twisting my fingers in trying to remember the keyboard shortcuts in IntelliJ for Windows :) one of my "favorite" shortcut being CTRL+Q on windows ... the equivalent of the Quit command on OSX, so I was *by my request* abandoning my current task every-time I was looking for fast Java docs. Yey, no more of that :)

At home I switched to Mail many moons ago and I am very happy with the default OSX mail client, however at work, as a Windows user I was still using Thunderbird (the best mail client for Windows, in my humble opinion) and now I wanted to import my huge mail archive into Mail.

Due to a fantastic well done tool, migrating the mail messages was the easiest task during this PC->Mac migration.

I hardly recommend the Eudora Mailbox Cleaner  to any new switcher or former Thunderbird/Eudora user.

Kudos to Andreas for this fantastic tool!
