Can Thunderbird email account settings be imported into Outlook 2010 or higher?

If you had a reason to switch to Outlook for what ever the reasons is there a free easy way to import email account settings into Outlook? I know you can import mail messages but not sure of the actual email account settings.

From my experience there is no automated way to do what you need. You'll probably just need to manually enter in the settings, which isn't too hard depending on how many email account.

I have alot email accounts and so i can do it manually but it takes alot longer then I would like. Just seems weird that Thunderbird offers a wizard to do it automatically when converting from Outlook but such a feature does not exist in the other direction.
