Absolute disaster. Installed, ran, script crashed. Upon restarting Thunderbird all accounts/emails gone - unrestorable. Have lost several years of emails. This thing wouldn't let me submit without a star rating hence the one star.

That's very troubling,sorry for the issues.
Can we troubleshoot this in the repository?
I am not sure 'What operation you were doing when this happened.
If you post an issue we may be able to recover something

Hello Christopher, when will the Thunderbird 78 version be available? I updated before checking compatibility and, now, I would not go back. My Thunderbird is 78.1.1. Thank you for your contribution.
Forgive me, I've seen the comments below and I understand you're working on it. Your add-on is beautiful! I use it to back up my emails. It works much better than the thunderbird built-in backup, at least until version 68.
Domenico.

Very happen I found this add-on. I'm curious if I export from 32 bit will it Import into 64 bit once I change computers in a couple days?

Yes the exported e-mail is text and independent of the machine architecture. Note: IET is not yet updated for 78

Export emails to csv is very valuable to me. It allows to maintain undelivered messages sent by notification system. CSV can be easy used in other program to search for unique addressee.
Extraordinary tool! Can't wait till new version is ready to install on 78 TB :)

I like ImportExportTools NG very much, due to making accessible group correspondence that Yahoo has given up on storing ...

I look forward to the update of this add-on for T-78. Like yesterday - When I upgraded from 68 to 78 I wanted to revert to 68 right away - but profiles are no more compatible.

Fear not , I will be upgrading . I just have to finish some other work on other extensions. Hold tight!
Thanks

Dude, love(d) this extension! Looking forward to your update. Cannot understand why this is not an integral part of Thunderbird (hope they are read these...). They should pay you for the work you've done and integrate it.

Thanks for the very nice review and comments!
Actually I am part of the Thunderbird team and the plan when I finally have time is for me to bring the functionality internally. I have to do a lot of rewriting and I would like first to try to get this 78 compatible.
Cheers

It was an amazing addon until this @!!$%$@ made the last update. Hope it will be updated too. Btw, thanks!

Thanks! Rest assured, I will be updating for 78, and I just have to circle around my other extensions first with their current issues. Look at the repository . every once in a while I will post progress.

Excellent!
I accidentally deleted my previous contacts address book.
Thank you SO much, this great plug in has allowed me to easily extract 900 emails from sent messages, which I can now back up and use.

Awesome, isn't it great to save our butts when we do "brilliant" things ;-)
Thanks for for the nice review! Happy it helped.

First of all, thank you for this great add-on!
When I export a IMAP remote folder (in any formats: mbox, ecc.), replied and forwarded statuses of every emails are not saved (when I re-import the folder as a local one, blue and orange arrows are missing, and X-Mozilla-Status is set to 0001). I searched in the add-on github page (and over the Internet) but I couldn't find useful information about backing up IMAP replied and forwarded flags, so maybe there is something I'm missing.
Thank you again!

I read the installation instructions on your GitHub page to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong (it's hard to screw up installing an extension) but in the Thunrderbird Menu Bar under Tools there's no extra options after installing the extension. Nothing changes whether it's installed or not. If I have an old version of Thunderbird and the old version of this extension the extra menu options are there under Tools, but all import options are grayed out.
I'm running Thunderbird 68.10.0 (latest) and I have tried installing the extension direction from the Add-Ons store, and from the XPI file from GitHub—same results, there's no added menu options in the Tools menu.
On your GitHub page under Brief Usage Instructions there's a part that says "You may have to enable the Menu Bar from Preferences to make it display", but there's no 'preferences' menu option that I can find in Thunderbird.

This really is a question not a review.
Have you looked at the help that describes the menu options?
import options appear when you right-click on a folder that allows imports. typically local folders

Please help! I used the plugin to export my mails form a pop account, tried to import it to a imap account, but it only imports the sent folder, and not the inbox folder. The export inbox file is 1.3gb, so it's ok. I tried "import messages" and "import all messages - ...also from subdirectory" but it doesn't work. What else can i try?

I have been using Windows Mail/Windows Live Mail for years and love it. Unfortunately, like so many good things, MS abandoned it. To ensure security, I have been trying hard to switch to a new email client. I am NOT technical, and tried Outlook first, but did not like it, so I have been trying Thunderbird as I like the single row format with flexible columns. However, I have failed over and over again trying to import the large WLM message store. From I/O NG, I pick the "Import all messages from a directory - Also from its subdirectories." Every time, I only get empty folders. I also found it hard to delete all the imported empty folder under the Thunderbird subfolder I created - as I had to delete each empty folder separately. I have spent 6 hours, and still NO luck. SOS! May Day!

Thanks for the review . sorry for the issues.
I will do my best to help resolve the import issue,however, we need to do it in the repository issues support section.
Can you open this issue there and we will figure out what's going on.

Has always been helpful but latest edition seems to have removed the option of Exporting a single message as PDF. Actually there is no way to export a single message at all that I can find. I hope you bring that option back.
Updated: I tried the uninstall/reinstall and it worked! Changed the rating especially for the quick and much appreciated assistance.
VMH
This feature have not been removed so probably have to look at specifics. Can you open an issue in the repository so we can track this? If you can identify OS and Thunderbird versions . One thing that has been reported. some people needed to uninstall and reinstall the new version for reason unknown.

AMAZING! I was looking for a way to move emails between servers (which i don't have admin access of course) and this addon saved me. Thank you.
