ThunderbirdLinux vs Windows Live MailWindows

Thunderbird como alternativa Linux ao Windows Live Mail

Atualizado em 23 de outubro de 2026

Nossa avaliação

Thunderbird is a solid replacement for Windows Live Mail for users who need a free, open‑source client that handles email, calendar, contacts, RSS feeds and news reading. It covers most everyday tasks and offers a keyboard‑driven workflow that many power users appreciate. Those who rely on the tight Windows integration of Live Mail or on its legacy data format may need extra steps, but overall Thunderbird meets the core needs of typical users.

Abrindo seus arquivos do Windows Live Mail

Thunderbird does not directly open Windows Live Mail data files (.pst or .ost). Users must export their mail from Windows Live Mail to a standard format such as MBOX or use a third‑party converter before importing into Thunderbird. The import process is not automated within Thunderbird.

Trocando o Windows Live Mail pelo Thunderbird, passo a passo

Export all mail from Windows Live Mail to MBOX or EML format via the export feature or a converter tool.
Install Thunderbird from your distribution’s package manager or Flathub.
Open Thunderbird, go to File → Import, and choose the exported MBOX files to import messages.
Set up your email accounts in Thunderbird using the same server settings (IMAP/POP3) you used in Windows Live Mail.
Import your contacts by selecting File → Import → Address Book and choosing the appropriate format.
Verify that calendar events and RSS feeds have been recreated; reconfigure any missing feeds manually.

Perguntas frequentes

Can I migrate my Windows Live Mail settings automatically?

No, Thunderbird does not support automatic migration of Windows Live Mail settings. You must manually reconfigure account settings, filters, and other preferences.

Is there a way to keep my old Windows Live Mail data in Thunderbird?

You can import your old mail by exporting it from Windows Live Mail to MBOX or EML files and then importing those into Thunderbird. Contacts and calendar items need to be exported separately and imported into Thunderbird’s address book and calendar.

Does Thunderbird support Exchange servers?

Yes, but it requires the “Exchange Support” add‑on. Without the add‑on, Thunderbird will not connect to Exchange servers directly.
