methods to import outlook mail into thunderbird

1

I cannot import mail from Outlook 2012 into Thunderbird using Thunderbird's import wizard. I get this error "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request". This is Outlook error, and i tried everything i can to fix it. Outlook is set as default mail client, i tried repairing office installation, modifying registry and nothing helped.

Is there another method to import Outlook mail?

Thank you

@MaQleod I considered that but it is a solution to some instances of this problem. It may not be the accepted answer in his specific case but it is a valid answer to the question. Is it my suggestion-style phrasing that you think should be changed? – user142485 – 2012-08-17T14:45:59.060

1Generally speaking, when you pose an answer it should have some documentation showing it is valid and works or a step by step guide that explains to the OP the process. As it stands it appears uncertain and not a compelling method to try. Single line suggestions don't often make for successful answers. – MaQleod – 2012-08-17T14:51:52.060
