This downloads importexporttools-3.3.2-sm+tb.xpi, which is NOT en executable application. Notepad opens garbage. This download link is not correct.

Add on doesn't work and won't show up in Thunderbird 102.2.2. Hopefully a fix comes soon.

Apparently the add-on has been corrupted by the author. "The site and all the extensions have been made unavailable as a form of protest against the illegal fascist measures and abuses against personal rights that have been occurring in Italy (the country where I live) since March 2020.

It's so useful.
A feature request: Can it import eml files directly from a zip file? Currently I've to unzip archived zip emails and then import them from folder, it's so time consuming.

Merci mille fois Paolo ! Tu m'as sauvé la vie. J'ai passé tout le vendredi 19 novembre 2021 et la soirée, à essayer tous les tutoriels du monde, pour récupérer un profil de 15 ans de mails (!). Après migration de Mac Catalina avec Thunderbird sur disque SSD externe. Rien ne marchait.
Et je suis arrivé, par hasard, enfin, sur la page de ImportsExportTools. May God bless you.

Your Add-on is not compatible with last version of thunderbird.
When importing with xpi file method, your add-on is announced to be corrupted.
So, useless Add-on

I agree with the other 1* ratings. The software may be great, but I could not figure it out. Take a little time to write a user manual.

Once you learn how to drive this it's brilliant. Saved a lot of time and work for me moving a colleague's 100 odd folders over to Outlook. What's not obvious is you can select multiple folders and move all messages within those folders by using the message option not the folder option. Very happy

After finding the secret place you Keep your very minimal instructions, I find that my version of Thunderbird looks nothing like what you describe. After wasting more time trying to interpret I find a way to add this add on only to be told that the file is corrupt. I then install from your web site and that file is also corrupt. I wasted 1 1/2 hours on this nonsense.

I don't know what I am doing wrong, but this is not working for me. I can see it installed in my add-ons manager, but I cannot access it to import my files.

This could be an extremely valuable add-on. Unfortunately, the selection and formatting options are so numerous, its very difficult to predict what the various options mean. In very simple terms, I would like to be able to export the contents of a folder and any of its subs in either HTML or EML format. If I'm exporting a folder with subs, it should be intuitively obvious I want to export the subs as well. I don't know what 'structured' vs. 'simple' means. Also, I guess I need to not only select the output folder, but double-click on it as well. Why? I very much appreciate that the author picked up the old Import/Export add-on and kept it alive. But the UI is extremely confusing, and makes it almost impossible to use.

Could not be installed in Thunderbird 78 because it seems to be broken. The seems to be a new version of this tool that covers Thunderbird 68/78: https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-GB/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools-ng/

Love the app, especially as it seems to be only one of a kind.
All the same, what is really frustrating is:
1. How long the downloads take (though that could be TB or my OVH mail server). Still 5* at this point.
2. If there is a break in connection on export of the 999th out of 1000 mails, the export is interrupted, there's one mail missing, but there is also no index.html, which is a pain, as you have to start the export from the beginning again (i.e. several hours more in my case).
It needs to be able to pick up again from where the connection broke.
3. I have regularly exported a folder & got the final index.html so wiped the mails from my server, then found that the exported folder is incomplete, although the index.html file has them all listed. Clicking on a missing file gives "File not found". (I just now exported a folder of 21 mails, but the export folder only contains 5. I try a 2nd time & all 21 are there. Try this on a folder with 1000+ mails!)

Hi, my new Thunderbird says this add-on has to be updated for Thunderbird 68.12.0 Could this be done, please?

All import functionality is disabled. What do I have to do to allow me to import mbox files? I can only export.

Worked great to export old profile from Thunderbird 60.9.1 to 68.8.1.
Used ImportExportTools NG add-on to import to Thunderbird 68.8.1.
