T'Bird 52.9.1 (32 bit) on Windows XP Crashes When Importing Outlook Express (6) Identity Folder On XP
My Windows XP machine is dying. I have had 3 Page Fault Errors today - something wrong with the RAM? I also have a Windows 10 PC with Thunderbird 102.2 installed. It has many, but not all, of my email folders that are also in my Outlook Express on my XP PC.
I want to stop using the XP PC and transfer all my emails (going back to 1997) to my Windows 10 PC.
I ran Thunderbird 52.9.1 on my XP PC and it immediately asked to import all my Outlook Express data, so I let it. But it crashed before completing the process.
On T'Bird on the XP PC, there is a folder named "Outlook Express Import" under "Local Folders" that contains some of my emails from Outlook Express, but not all.
Is there a way to import all my OE emails into T'Bird either on the XP PC or the Windows 10 PC?
I have already copied my complete Outlook Express Identity folder from the XP PC to a drive on the Windows 10 PC. It is 5.5 GB in size.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Back in the dark ages (2011) I wrote his blog post about using udbx to export mail from DBX files.
In the intervening decade the unDBX project has moved to sourceforge https://sourceforge.net/projects/undbx/ and the import export tools addon has changed to https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools-ng/?src=ss
But you can still go that route.
BTW page faults are often ram, but just as often they are hard disk errors. (Windows XP gives the drive a flogging paging out of it's limited ram to virtual memory.
I suggest you run the XP scandisk and defrag utilities over the drive. It will be tediously slow, but in the process of basically reading and writing every sector on the drive it will most likely identify any dodgy ones and mark them.
If you are all handy around computer hardware, removing and resetting memory modules can also improve page fault issues as the modules have been known to move over time, despite being locked into place.
