Hope that this is useful.
As part of a conversion from Windows to ubuntu, I had to migrate from Outlook to another e-mail/calendar/contact program. I chose Thunderbird/Lightning as the program for ubuntu.
I'll do a full post later, but the basic steps that I used to migrate Outlook e-mail and contacts to Thunderbird/Lightning are:
1. Prior to conversion, install the Windows version of Thunderbird and the Lightning extension on the PC.
2. Setup one e-mail account on Thunderbird and disable automatic send. This is required to setup Local Folder.
3. Tools | Import address book and e-mail. The prompts are easy - it will take time.
4. When done, VERIFY that you have all of the e-mail (including any archives) and contacts. If not, delete them in Thunderbird and close. Then open Outlook and make sure that all Archive folders are also included. Then repeat 3 and 4.
5. When done:
- locate the folder named "Local Folders" that was created by Thunderbird.
- copy all of the files in Local Folders to an external device or network drive. These contain the e-mail and folder structure.
- copy abook.mab (it should be at the same level as Mail) to the external device or network drive. This is the address book.
6. Convert to ubuntu and install Thunderbird and Lightning.
7. Set up all e-mail accounts. Disable all automatic send operations (including the checkbox when you are setting up the accounts).
8. Close Thunderbird.
9. Locate the Local Folders (under .mozilla-thunderbird/{GUID}/Mail). Hidden folders must be enabled (ctrl-h on /home/userid, where userid is your userid). GUID will be a unique identifier generated when Thunderbird is installed.
10. Copy the files from the external device or network drive to this location.
11. Copy abook.mab to the same location as Mail. abook.mab is not part of the Local Folders.
12. Reboot system
13. Start Thunderbird - if all is well, you will have your e-mail and your contacts.
I've attached two screenshots showing the location of abook.mab and the Local Folders.
