The most I am concerned about is the Access Points/Auto sorting approach, is there a plugin for that?
Thunderbird has a "Menu -> Folders -> Unified" view (which might even be the default, but I have mine set to "All), that shows "Inbox" and under it shows a view for each account. You can click on "Inbox" to see messages from both accounts. There's also one for Sent. There's also a per-view setting (with a drop-down if you add it to the toolbar) to show a custom view like "Unread".
There are filters, tags, saved searches (where you can choose what folders are searched etc.) and all that. You can add an extension to search certain headers to make a saved search that acts similar to Opera's Attachments access point, but I don't mess with that.
Ah cool, what is the name of this plugin, please?
In short, you can do all kinds of things, and a lot of it is there by default.
Okay, it's worth a shot, maybe on long term, thank you

The per-view view setting has "has attachments" in addition to "Unread". Saved Searches also have an attachment status search.
You can also use regex for more fine-grained search of attachment headers.

I am unfortunately running into the same expected problem I can when I switched from M2 to Opera Mail and I don't remember how I fixed it: My primary email account cannot be exported, at roughly 40% of my inbox the exporting simply stops.
2 possible solutions I have in mind, but don't know how either of them would work and what is the best way to proceed:
A) Force Opera Mail to re-index (Would that even help, considering I don't know why it stops?).
or
Moving the POP3 mails form that inbox via the GUI to my AOL IMAP account (is that even possible).Hope this problem can be fixed.

2nd problem:
I am using the ImportExportTools plugin as described here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_from_Opera
However when I load in the SENT folder of my gmail account, the MBOX file is found it loads, but no messages are imported into Thunderbird.

Yes, that'd be the best way.
But, it'd be better to import each POP (IMAP you never import, but set up fresh) store/accountN folder from Opera Mail's mail folder directly (using this extension). Sent messages are included that folder. Make sure Opera Mail is closed. Doing things this way will totally bypass Opera's exporter.

You can try that. Just drag selected messages (ctrl + a for all) from the "Inbox" or "Sent" view message list to the "Inbox" or "Sent" IMAP folder icon in the mail panel of the IMAP account. Or, you can focus the target message list and paste if you copy the selection first.

Not sure why. You'd have to examine the mbox file in a text editor and make sure the bodies of each message are complete. If they're all blank (for some reason), that could be why.

Oh cool! So where do I find those folders, and how do I know which folders belong to my gmail and web.de accounts? And how do I know what is inbox and what is sent mail folder? And if it's not possible to differ between inbox and sent mail how can I split the 2 if both inbox and sent are in the same inbox view? (I guess I would use bulk import to avoid having tons of MBS folders added to the thunderbird)
I already have the IMAP stuff working
And contacts too Moving the POP3 mails form that inbox via the GUI to my AOL IMAP account (is that even possible).

Tried that, seemed like simply nothing happened, so rather go with taking the native MBOX files (MBS) from the opera folder itself bypassing the exporter as you suggested

See "Store Folder" on this page. Opera doesn't have folders (view that return search results made on the database instead), so all messages for an account are together in the accountN folder (besides drafts as noted on the page).

Okay makes sense. Means after importing I will have to run a search in thunderbird to find out what is sent mail and what is inbox and then move it accordingly, I assume

Most likely.

Btw, you can try the Thunderbird Support mailing list for help with future issues.

Sure, will do that once I finally switched from Opera Mail to Thunderbird successfuly and got a rid of Oprea Mail, thanks for all the great help there!
