You can migrate Thunderbird to GoDaddy Workspace with complete data like emails, attachments, local folder, contacts, and calendar using IMAP drag & drop, or you can use specialized software to import Thunderbird Emails to the GoDaddy Account – for professional bulk-level migration.

Why Migrate Thunderbird to GoDaddy Workspace?

Users, businesses, or enterprises often migrate from Thunderbird, a desktop-based email management system, to GoDaddy, a cloud-based email system. This is because of various advantages that come with it:

  • Cloud-Data Security
  • Custom Domain Name
  • Anytime Access via Webmail
  • Easy integration with Other Business Applications
  • More businesses require migrating online, and due to affordable prices and GoDaddy’s Microsoft 365 plans, it is a go-to choice.

Tip: Before starting the Thunderbird to GoDaddy Workspace migration process use Thunderbird Backup Tool to backup your complete Thunderbird profile to avoid accidental data loss.

Method 1: Transfer Thunderbird Profile to GoDaddy Using IMAP Sync

Here are the steps to follow to move Thunderbird emails to a GoDaddy email account:

  1. Open Mozilla Thunderbird on your computer.
  2. Click on Menu >> New-Account >> Email
  3. Enter your Name and GoDaddy email address
  4. In most cases, Thunderbird can fetch details from ISPDB
  5. Choose IMAP as the configuration type
  6. Enter the password and then finish adding the GoDaddy account to Thunderbird.
  7. Once the account is configured, you can right-click and create a new folder (eg, Thunderbird Data).
  8. To move custom mailboxes from Thunderbird to GoDaddy, right-click on the folder and choose Move To.
  9. Select the new folder in the GoDaddy Account as the destination when migrating Thunderbird to GoDaddy Workspace.
  10. For in-built mailboxes like Inbox, Sent, Draft, etc., you need to select and then drag-n-drop the email to the new folder in the GoDaddy Account.

Important: The above method only imports Thunderbird emails to GoDaddy accounts. To migrate contacts:

  1. In Thunderbird, go to Address Books >> All Address Books
  2. Select all the contacts
  3. Locate your GoDaddy Account-specific address book
  4. Drag and drop to migrate contacts
