There is no separate DLL to read data from Thunderbird. You need to use Aspose.Email APIs to read data from Thunderbird and write it to Office365. Please refer to the following articles for more details.

Can I read “seen” status of all emails?
Can I read “Tag” list?
Can I read Tag association - emails ?

The Aspose.Email API is not responsible for it. However, you can read the list of Thunderbird tags by parsing the pref.js file in their Thunderbird account.

These settings (isRead instead of “seen”) can be retrieved using the Aspose Email API as shown in the code below and parsed according to the documentation found in the attached Mozzila.txt file. Mozilla.zip (1.5 KB)

string fileName = @"C:\Users\Alecs\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\5pdxpwkp.default-release\INBOX";
using (FileStream stream = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
using (MboxStorageReader mboxReader = MboxStorageReader.CreateReader(stream, new MboxLoadOptions()))
{
    foreach (MailMessage eml in mboxReader.EnumerateMessages())
    {
        string xMozillaStatus = eml.Headers.Get("X-Mozilla-Status");
        int status = 0;
        bool isRead = false;
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(xMozillaStatus) && int.TryParse(xMozillaStatus.TrimStart('0'), out status))
        {
            isRead = (status & 1) == 1;
        }

        string xMozillaStatus2 = eml.Headers.Get("X-Mozilla-Status2");
        string xMozillaKeys = eml.Headers.Get("X-Mozilla-Keys");
        string[] tags = string.IsNullOrEmpty(xMozillaKeys) ? null : xMozillaKeys.Split(new char[] { ' ' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
    }
}
