Previously it was possible to do this from an open letter, but now only from a list of letters. This is terribly inconvenient, because you still have to open the letter to check whether it is the right letter or not. But this addition is very necessary for an email email client.
PS. I figured out why there was no save option in the context menu of the open letter. I always selected and copied part of the text of the letter to later rename the saved letter. Previously, when there was selected text in the body of a letter, there was such an item in the context menu (on the right mouse button), but now, if there is selected text, it is not there. You just need to deselect the text and the option to save the letter in the desired format from this add-on will appear. I recommend this supplement to everyone who needs to save e-mail.

Sorry for the issues. Could you please open an issue in the github repository where I can help you.
I have this working fine on Win 10, Thunderbird 115.4.3 and ImportExportTools v14.0.1
Since I don't know what you are using I really need to help in the repository.

Leider nicht mehr brauchbar. Ich habe mit diesem Tool bisher E-Mail in PDF konvertiert. Die Option wird noch angeboten, aber wenn man sie benutzt, passiert nichts. Es wird weder nach einem Speicherort gefragt, noch etwas gespeichert.

When I tried to restore a complete profile from a previously exported one, it fails immediately with error "folder doesn't contain a valid profile". I have no idea how to resolve. IEtools NG V12.0.4, TBird 102.15.1 - it used to work flawlessly as a backup tool for single or multiple profiles.

Without doubt, for me this is the most useful Thunderbird add-on. I need to save important emails (legal, tax etc.) daily, and usually as PDFs, either for filing or printing, or both. I was very concerned that it wouldn't be ported over to 115, and I'd be stuck with an older version of Tbird forever, but Christopher Leidigh has done a first-class job in making it work with 115.

Always enjoy your id :-)
Thank you for the very positive, supportive review!
Updating for v115 was indeed a big lift and I am close to releasing the first maintenance version to round off some things and minor improvements. If you are interested you can grab here:

Since you are a big PDFer, you may be interested that at some point I will enable ietng to use my Printingtools NG to get all the print layout enhancements it has.

Really a question. Is ImportExportTools a utility to CLONE a Thunderbird implementation? That is, I'm looking for a secure way to save my entire TB implementation such that if all hell breaks loose on my system, I can easily restore it. That is, if I Export a package, can I later Import that package and completely restore my TB implementation? If such, it would be good to advertise that. I'll give a high rating assuming that's the case!

Thank you for the review!
Yes one of the many functions in IETNG is the Profile Export/Import which is the entire TB dataset. Just do it with the same main TB version.

I am trying to migrate a 12 Gb profile, but with no success. "An error occurred during profile import. Error details are: Exception... etc". I have the feeling that 99% of the profile is migrated, all 12Gb are in place and only the final step crashes for some reason.
PS: Issue is resolved with the help of cleidigh. Follow below Github issue to find the solution - detailed step-by-step guide.

Imported 11GB of folder-structured emails into Thunderbird 115.3.3 without issues. It was only tricky to figure out how to find the import option's menu. I was about to open an issue, but saw that someone had the same problem, so maybe the help page could include a tip about this.

Thanks for the nice review.
11GB import, sweet!
I know there is never enough help. I thought the tables for each context menu was sufficient, but maybe some more general descriptions would help.

The tool is absolutely great and it helpend me already several times to restore lost mails.
Yesterday my Thunderbird mail was updated to the latest version and also the import export tools was updated. So I did a quick checl that everything is still OK. But I can no longer find the "export non local folder" option which is needed to backup my IMAP mails. Did I oversee something or where is this funtion gone?
Andreas
Appreciate the nice review!
In v14.0.0 I have completely rewritten the import export code.
Basically I removed the remote operation because both methods are the same. As long as you are synced an imap export will be good.

Super useful extension.
But I still have this suggestion for improvement to the extended file name format: How about a placeholder/macro for the respective email address of the other party could be built in, like:
${smart_email}
Wish you continued success!

Thank you for your nice review!
I am not clear on this token suggestion.
Could you perhaps post this in the github repository where we can discuss it?

I get about 10% errors - i.e. exporting an imap mail folder with 6000 mails, and after importing into an offline folder 650 did not come through properly, mostly date/sender/subject not recognised even though in the original mail folder they are displayed just fine. I can recognise the mails that went wrong by opening them and thus compare them to the original, but if they can't be listed by date/sender/subject they're as good as lost. I tried both exporting all mails from the folder in eml format, and exporting the folder. And I did so several times, always the same result. At such a failure rate the tool is useless for me. In the past is has worked, I use it once a year.

I'm sorry for the issues.
Could you open this issue in Github so I can help to try and resolve?
The update for Thunderbird v115 has been tough, but to resolve I need to work with people who have issues.

Thanks for the review (and for not having the update yet!)
I actually have a pretty solid beta if you wish to try. I am currently held up by mbox imports, however, the other functions are working quite well.
