To be at an advantage, businesses and organizations prefer this cloud-based service over desktop-based email clients, like Mozilla Thunderbird.<\/p><p>However, migrating from Thunderbird to Office 365 is easier said than done. It isn&rsquo;t a simple task as both the platforms use different file formats &ndash; Thunderbird uses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/mbox-file-extension\/\">MBOX file<\/a> (.mbox) format, whereas Office 365 (Microsoft 365) supports the proprietary PST file (.pst) format.<\/p><p>But there are various specialized MBOX to PST converter tools available that can help to migrate Thunderbird data (MBOX file) to Office 365.<\/p><p>This post will explore the detailed process of migrating mailbox items from Thunderbird MBOX file to Office 365 using a powerful MBOX to PST converter tool.
