Here is a simple way (but not straight forward)
1- Install a free mail server that support IMAP (HMailserver)
2- Add a new IMAP account in thunderbrid and Outlook to use that server.
3- In thunderbird copy the folder/emails to the IMAP account. This way they land on the your local mail server.
4- In outlook synchronize and make sure the complete email is downloaded not just the header.
5- To be save create a local PST folder and move from Outlook-IMAP account to the PST-file.
6- you are done.
works for converting from antyhing to anything as long as both support IMAP.

enjoy

Hi,

This post:

makes the trick. You need to export using an application and then import into Outlook Express using another application but I imported my messages keeping my folder structure without errors.

There is good tool which works with Outlook Express files,also it has many possibilities-opening dbx,as far as i know it is free,tool restore mails,attached files,fix other mail files,program is compatible with Windows 2003, Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows Vista, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows XP, Windows XP SP2 and any version of Outlook Express, installed on your PC,recovery represents the analysis of separate dbx files, because Outlook Express splits your mailbox into several files.
