Is it safe to import Maildir files into Thunderbird?

Arjunmehta
Importing Maildir files directly into Thunderbird can be done, but it requires some caution. Thunderbird supports the MBOX format natively, not Maildir. To safely import Maildir emails, you typically need to convert Maildir files into MBOX format first.  Aryson Maildir Converter help convert and migrate Maildir files into Thunderbird-compatible formats without data loss. Directly importing Maildir files without conversion may lead to compatibility issues or data corruption. Always back up your original Maildir files before starting the import process. Using trusted converter software ensures a safer, more reliable migration of your emails into Thunderbird.
