importing mbox

Under XP, I had all my mail in Thunderbird, which uses the MBOX format. Under Vista, I'm planning on moving to Outlook. It used to be that you could import MBOX-format files into Outlook Express (under the guise of being from Eudora), then import from there into Outlook.
However, Windows Mail no longer had the option to import MBOX-format files. Does anybody know how I can get my Thunderbird message store into Outlook 2007?

Try renaming the files to give them a eml file extension and then drag them from Explorer to an WinMail folder and drop them. See if that works.

This only shows the first message in the MBOX store.

See if my MBXtract program will extract the individual messages from the MBOX store. I seem to remember it working, but I'm not sure.

You might have to give the file an mbx file extension just to get it to recognize the file.
