====== How to Import MBOX Files Into Thunderbird ======

**Pre-requisite:** To import .MOBOX files into Thunderbird, you will need to install a third-party import add-on called **ImportExportTools NG**.\\ 
Skip to step 6 if you have already installed the add-on.

1. On your Thunderbird, click the **grid icon** at the top right corner and select **Add-ons and Themes** from the drop-down menu.
