The Import process went fine, and most of the dates remained as they were, but some messages picked up the time that the mbx2eml process ran (Win7 64bit, Zimbra Desktop 1.04, Thunderbird v3).
Thanks for the tutorial

Hi!
I’m trying to import inbox from Thunderbird to Zimbra Web Client. All steps but the final one work well. Zimbra says that importing was successfull, but nothing happens in inbox. I can’t see any imported mail. Nor is the size (in MB) of the inbox larger.
I noticed that when I export my inbox from Zimbra, it creates bot msf and meta file for each e-mail. But when creating eml files with mbx2eml I don’t get any meta files. Could that be the problem?
I would be very thankful for some answer.

Greetings, Zimbra desktop 1.0.4 refuses to import.

I managed to convert some mails to .msg format. I created a Test folder, I archived it to tar and the to gzip.

I press import on Zimbra, it say Import complete but no mails appear.

This manual is very useful. I was able to migrate from thunderbird to zimbra so easily. It is a must-have for everyone
