What a life saver. I have been a Thunderbird user for many years with emails going back to 2008, I was using an old HP Windows Laptop that finally had to go. I opted to get the new Macbook Air with M1 chip. Now I had to migrate from Windows to MacOS - Big Sur. I had read all the older articles on migration from one OS to another and was dreading it. I gave this add-on a try and it worked as slick as it could. I exported from the laptop to a thumb drive. Then imported on the Macbook from the thumb drive. The file size was over 14Gb. Did not loose an email or attachment. What a life saver. Fantastic add-on to say the least

Thank you very much for the very nice review!
I took over the extension over a year ago and am doing my best to keep up. it's really great to hear from users like yourself having the extension solve a problem.

It doesn't seem to be able to import the very files which it exports.
I exported my files as backups before switching my email address to a new webhost, where I would lose all my data if I didn't back it up. Those files had no extension, but they took up many MBs of storage so I know the information is there. But now the addon's import feature won't recognize the very files which it exported. So those files seem to be useless for now. I'm hoping there's a way to read them and import them somehow.

can you open an issue in the repository where we can troubleshoot this, I think you're trying to import
a backup which is a different type of file setup

It seems to be a very interesting addon but I am getting the error message: [Java script application] Because of a Thunderbird bug, the feature is not available on this platform when I try to save selected messages to PDF. I am running version 78.4.0 (64-bit) on a Mac running Mojave 10.14.6.

unfortunately PDF output 4 does not work on OS X, this is an internal limitation of Thunderbird
have not found a solution yet.

The plugin is pretty good as it is, but it could be better. What I (and I'm sure others) want to do is export all of my messages and attachments in all of my subfolders and their subfolders from my Local Folders (or folders/subfolders/messages from any email account). I can do this, but I cannot then choose the file format. So, it would be good if I could choose the file format regardless of where I'm exporting from. If I choose the default format (not even sure what that is) it is basically unreadable. Oh, it shows up in a web browser or a text editor, but it is unreadable and looks like, although I haven't dug into this too much, the attachments are coded into that text. Oh, and selecting multiple folders only exports the messages in those folders, not their subfolders. The way it works now is extremely time consuming to get all of my messages from either folders under Local Folders or any email account. Yes, I do know that I'm being recursive here. It's such a tiny little box to type in.

I'm trying to import a .mbox file from google takeout with this addon and when i click the option "ImportExportTools" on the Tools menu, it doesn't appear anything. I'm using Thunderbird version 78.4.0 (32-bit)
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (10.0.1).this is either a question or issue either of which should go with the repository
one * for a question - not very reasonable

Fantastic! Thanks.

It works fine, but I have a problem with text codification, on function IETconvertToUTF8. I changed the code to the earlier version and works fine. Please check that function.
It is a very a powerful tool. Congratulations.

Thanks! this is now fixed in a temporary version
I should be posting an official beta shortly

Always surprised Thunderbird has no built-in backup service. This add-on does a good job although it has had me scratching my head at times. I feel it could do with some simple to understand instructions on how to do various tasks. I think I am fairly tech-savvy but have had trouble understanding how to make it do what I wanted it to do. the two task I want it to do are 1. Backup all my email profiles, addresses, settings passwords etc. 2. Backup my actual emails incrementally, so should I crash my operating system and need to reinstall then I can get all my accounts and emails back without much aggro. But overall this add-on is indispensable to me glad to see it has updated. Thank you.

Bonjour,
Module très utile, efficace et absolument indispensable pour moi. Malheureusement ne fonctionne plus avec mon Thunderbird 78.2.2 ! Quand puis-je espérer qu'il devienne compatible ? C'est assez urgent pour moi ! Merci d'avance et bravo.
Je suis bloqué sur certains travaux
Thanks !

Hello,
I am trying to import tens of thousands of eml files & I am using this tool. For some reason when I try to import a folder of eml files it only imports some of them. I checked it out & it's not because the other files are corrupted - they can imported one at a time. I looked at the config options & nothing. Any help please?
Best Regards,
T

We rely on this very good extension to access archives of our past employees' emails--unfortunately since it's not compatible with the new Thunderbird we've been unable to use it. I've tried using the new beta (the 10th version) but when I attempt to import the mbox, nothing happens. Happy to correspond over email about the issues I'm having if it helps you update the extension to work again!
I do wish this were a default feature in Thunderbird! It'd be so wonderful if they incorporated this.

Thanks!
Update : I think I found the problem, look for b11
Definitely would like to get your issue resolved b10 should be a solid for mbox. would it be possible to go to the repository issues? it's important to track things there:
https://github.com/thundernest/import-export-tools-ng/issues/143
first thing to do is describe OS/TB versions and exactly what you are trying to do (source of e-mails et cetera)
