Can this be used (even manually) to extract from a maildir file and then injected to a new server? The old server crashed but fortunately I had made a backup (including /var spool files and user Mail folders) the night before. New server is running, but I need a way to get info out of the backup files (in a .tar file) into the new server. I have copied the files to the server, but could also put them on my regular machine.
Looks like a great tool though.
Thank you

I think we should be able to do this, however, I will be honest that maildir hardly ever comes up so I rarely get into it.
Can you open an issue in Github where we can debug :

Nach einem Providerwechsel hatte ich große Hoffnung in dieses Plugin gesetzt.
Leider funktioniert es mit der aktuellen Version nicht sauber.
Ordnerstrukturen werden nicht angelegt.
Teilweise werden Mails hundertfach importiert.
Teilweise gar nicht.
Bitte, ich benötige unbedingt dieses eigentlich tolle Tool.
Darum bitte schnell reparieren!
Danke!

Can you make an issue in the github repository, that is where I can help debug your problem.
Please give details on os, tb and IETNG versions. Also what you are trying to do. What email format you are trying to import, its structure and specific comments on what you did.
Thanks

Doesn't seem to work in Thunderbird v102.6.1 (64-bit)
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (12.0.2).It works. Can you post an issue in the repository? Also add some details including os and tb, IETNG versions.

Simply indispensable,
this ingenious add-on.
Unfortunately, when e-mails are automatically backed up, a window always pops up that you have to confirm in order for the backup to start.
That's okay and good if you have a backup made once a month or once a week. Only with backups that are made once a day does it get annoying over time.
Please change this via settings so that you can also switch off this confirmation window.
Thanks.
Thank you!
That sounds like a good suggestion, have to look at any potential issues. I am slowly working on a 12.0.3 release so I can probably do this. Can you post a feature request in the github repository? That way it can be tracked and discussed.

I think I saw your post yesterday, however, github seems to have dissappeared it! I have another post that went missing.
Would you mind reposting?
Thanks

HOW TO IMPORT MAC MAIL'S .MBOX FOLDER AND EMLX FILES
- Open Thunderbird, Right click on "Local folder" on left column, choose "make new folder"
- Right click newly created folder, "ImportExportTools NG" > "Import every emlx files from folder"
- Select folder location. On mac, it should be "\MacHD\Macintosh HD\Users\Username\Library\Mail"
- Done
Do not download useless payware!
Thanks for the useful note and the review!

This is an awesome tool and I have used it for quite a long time (including the old not -NG version).
Unfortunately the last time I tried to save as pdf it produces no pdf file.
Followup: Beta version from Developer fixed it; works *perfectly*. THANK YOU !!!
pls check paypal for donation!
Again demonstrates there is always *far* better support from developers of free software than from developers of paid sw.

Yes a TB update broke PDF printing. Good news is I have beta that fixes this. I should be releasing this week. You can download the beta here and install the addon from file on the extensions tab:

Hiiiiiiii, Christopher,
your Beta DOES work! Juhuuuu!
I'm sooo happy to have my favorite add-on back.
THANK YOU so much!
Because of heavy problems I can't "drink a coffee with you" at the moment. BUT I'll be back.
Have a great life!

Hello Christopher,
really a big thank you for this extension which is very practical and very useful.
I basically use it to save the message in EML format.
There is a small parameter that could be very very very useful to fix.
When I right-click on the message and choose "save selected messages" then "EML format", the explorer window that opens is not always the same and most of the time corresponds to documents or the username.
Would it be possible, please, to be able to fix this parameter is to choose the default destination folder when saving messages in EML.
IMPORTANT :
I correct what I just wrote above. I'm really stupid and thank you for your message. I had not seen that you could set the destination directory by going to the "extension settings" then tab "export folders" then check "export select messages" then click on "Browse". Everything works GREAT. So, I'm good to donate! Thank you again for your help and really BRAVO for this very nice extension. Best regards, Olivier
Really thank you very much for your help,

Thanks for the nice review!
Any chance you can post this issue in Github? We can clarify there. The export directory options may do what you want, but perhaps not exactly.
I will email as well.

Componente aggiuntivo molto utile.
Manca solo la possibilità di esportare PDF (con allegati)
I'd like to have "export PDF (with attachments)"

Great tool when it works, but sadly the 'Export Folder with Structure' option stopped working almost a year ago (likely due to the TB core changes). It gives no indication of an error, but fails to back up the selected accounts content. This has been reported as a bug, but has not been addressed for most of that time.
If you need reliable backups, beware of this function (the Backup option does seem to work).

I am playing catch up.
I found and replied to your GH post to try and address this.
Note on my windows /v12.0.1 setup export with structure behaves as expected.
We can figure it out...

A very good and useful addon. I would like to continue using it, but where can I find the beta version?
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (11.1).Thanks for the review!
I just submitted v12, should be a couple of days.
The last beta is available here :

Finora ha funzionato perfettamente (*****). Ora ho aggiornato Thunderbird alla versione 102, e l'estensione non è più compatibile. Potete risolvere? Grazie
Aggiornamento: ho installato la versione beta e funziona nuovamente. Grandi!
I am finalizing v12 for 102 now, should be just a couple of days.
Hopefully you can re-review!

Der Im- und Export von Nachrichten und Ordnern ist eine unverzichtbare Zusatzfunktionalität (etwa zur Verwaltung von Archiven), welche eigentlich schon längst Bestandteil von Thunderbird selbst sein sollte. Ohne eine kompatible Version dieses Add-ons ist ein Update von Thunderbird undenkbar.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (11.1).Thank you for your kind review.
Fear not, I am just about ready with the update.

Recomendadísimo si tu caso es idéntico al mío, ya que tuve que mudar de PC y mudar todos mis mensajes de Thunderbird.
