If you find wherever it is that Thunderbird stores your message folders as
files, copy-drag them to your desktop or a folder there. Change the
extension on each (or add the if they have none) to .mbox. If the files now
display that ugly giant postbox icon belonging to Apple's Mail instead of an
Entourage icon, control-click on just one .mbox file, choose Get Info,
choose "Open With", select Entourage, then click the "Change All" button.
Now all the .mbox files should display an Entourage icon. Drag them in one
by one into Entourage (or double-click each) to make a message folder "On My
Computer" or as a subfolder of whatever folder you drag to.
