To import Google Takeout data to Thunderbird, first download your Takeout archive from Google, which typically includes your emails in MBOX format. Extract the ZIP file and locate the MBOX files (usually under Mail > Gmail). Open Thunderbird, then select the MBOX file from the extracted folder. Although this manual process works, it can be tedious and prone to errors, especially when dealing with large files or multiple MBOX files. Users may face challenges like improper formatting, missing attachments, or incorrect folder structure.
