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!)

This tool requires a little time in testing & getting used to, but it's worth it as I now have it set up to archive all my mails into readable .eml files (along with a searchable index) in a separate folder on a different disk to my TB mail disk.
My only suggestion would be to offer a Help manual (link from the menu?).

This is the best, if not the only proper mail archiving app out there, apparently. Works great, sometimes, but I find I have to try various options every time before hitting on the simple list of emails I can just open & read, outside of TB (.eml).
My problem now is that the index file doesn't write for large folders (e.g. one of 2700 mails, one of 70 mails does write). It is created but it's an empty file (0 bits). I can export an index file separately, on its own, but without the links, which defeats the purpose.

I really need this so I can find a mail quickly (email dates of course don't write to the File Explorer menu). Is there a max number of links it can write to index? Or a max file size?

***Edit: It seems the index file doesn't write when there are emoticons in any email subject.

Although the texts & instructions can be improved (in English & French, at least) this tool is just what I was looking for! "Export all messages to folder" creates a html index in the directory of my choice, where I can easily find a specific mail & open it from the adjacent folder. 5 years of mails organised, archived & easily accessible!

Si les textes et instructions peuvent être améliorés (en anglais comme en français), cet outil est exactement ce que je cherchais. L'option "Exporter tous les messages dans le dossier" crée un indexe html dans le répertoire que j'aurais choisi, où je peux facilement trouver un mail et l'ouvrir depuis le dossier adjacente. Comme ça, j'ai pu organiser et archiver 5 années de mails de façon facilement accessible.
