How can i fetch mail from Thunderbird?

Asked by BelloCaz in Thunderbird Email Client, Microsoft ADP, Access Coding/Macros

Tags: , , , ,

I need to be able to extract some of the details of Thunderbird mail messages and put into Access.  I have done this with Outlook 2003 / MAPI from within Access VBA code...  but cannot find the reference or method to do this with Thunderbird.   Things like Fetchmail (Linux only?) and the mozilla GNU stuff like XUL XPCOM appear to be for PHP and Perl.  

I could manually open and read the mail file from the Thunderbird folder (C:\Documents and Settings\...\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\....\Mail\Local Folders) and parse out the data... but this seems cumbersome...  I must be missing something and am ready to say 'doh'... of course!
