Jim, would Thunderbird import mail from Windows Mail? I've never used a browser except Windows IE and Netscape. Don't think I want to change using browsers.

Lets get this straight now.....you want to import mail from windows mail, that is the mail already there? This is a great question which I cannot answer as I have never been in that situation. You can POP the mail to T'bird but as for that which is already downloaded I really don't know, sorry will have to do some looking.
