Can I migrate a 16 GByte .pst file from Outlook 2013 to TB on a Windows 7 64-bit PC? Will my blocked junk senders work?
Worried about the large .pst file. I use IMAP and read there may be a 4 GByte limit if Local Folders are used but I do not understand what "Local Folders" means. I have a large (several hundred) blocked senders list and wonder if TB will import the whole list at one time or if I need to enter the blocked senders one by one.

Thunderbird does not have a "BLOCKED SENDERS" list
This answers my second question but not the first. I think Thunderbird must support filtering but from your answer, I cannot give Thunderbird my present list of about 500 Blocked Senders and have it block these.
Others DO !
So if I was Sandy, I would stick to Outlook or at least search for another solution than Thunderbird dealing with IMAP.
I'm myself also disappointed by the complicated settings to block senders. I wonder if any universal software can "transfer" and sync one or more lists blocked senders between several email programs. But that's another question.
@Merel, I find it amusing that people have hundreds of blocked senders. I have been using internet mail since late 1980s. I have been actively using some of my mail accounts since before the Millennium. I have no blocked senders.
I used to have blocked senders in MSN messenger and Yahoo messenger as it was the only SPAM control option available, but I have Zero blocked senders in my mail client. I certainly get loads of spam in my Yahoo account, it is something Yahoo appear to be incapable of managing. I get very very little in my other mail accounts, so other providers can mange it.
Thunderbird does an excellent job of managing my spam with only a few each day making it to my inbox.
You appear to think transferring this list from client to client is important. I would really like you to tell me why! Then I would love an explanation why you think syncing of such list has merit.
Most people with lots of blocked senders appear to think a blocklist is a SPAM management tool. It is not. Either they are using blocked senders for SPAM control, something that is simply not appropriate as it is a slow process. To place each mail in a list and check it against 500 email addresses you don't like simply bogs down the receipt of mail.
Or they are and a particularly unlikable person that just
