Kmail and Thunderbird

Just wondering if it is possible to transfer emails and contacts from Thunderbird to Kmail.

Thanks
Floyd

I don't think so....tried once, both ways (to and from Thunderbird/Kmail), didn't find anything useful.

Yes and No. Both mail and your address book can be imported into Kmail. The other way round only your address book can be exported not email folders (due to the way that kmail stores emails).

Thanks dth1, but how do I do it?
The Tools->Import Messages function in KMail doesnt mention thunderbird or mozilla, and I cant find any export functions in thunderbird.

Do I have to use an external tool or is there something I've missed?

KMail encountered a fatal error and will terminate now.
