ImportExportTools is a Thunderbird extension which allows you to export and import messages with more flexibility. It has the following options:Tools Menu --> Import/Export in mbox/eml formatContext menu on folders panel --> Import/Export in mbox/eml format· export of folder in a single file (mbox format), with also the subfolders if you want;· export of all messages in single files (eml format);· export of all messages in single files (html or plain text format), with an index;· export of all messages in one single plain text file;· export of index of the messages in a folder (HTML or CSV format); - mbox files import;· eml files import;· import of all the eml files existing in a directory;File menu --> Save selected messagesContext menu of thread panel --> Save selected messages· saving multiple messages in eml/html/plain text format with just a click; Message menu --> Copy to clipboardContext menu of thread panel --> Copy to clipboard· copy the message or all headers to clipboard. Context menu on an EML attachment· import file in the folder Important notes:IMPORT· if the mbox file is not standard, you'll have a warning and you can try to import the file the same, because sometimes the import can work also with mbox files a little corrupted;· at the name of mbox file, it will be added a random number from 1 to 999, to avoid coincidence of names with the other folders;· the files are imported as they were all of received mails, so it's shown the sender and not the receiver. If you want that it's shown the receiver, you must import the file as subfolder of the "Sent";· you can't import in IMAP or NEWS accounts or folders;· you can import more mbox file with one click;· because of a limit in filepicker itself, importing a big number of eml files can fail (if the total number of the chars of their names is more than 4096). You can bypass this limit, using the option to import all the eml files existing in a directoryEXPORT· the exported file is automatically renamed, if necessary. You can anyway overwrite the files with the same name, if you enable this option in the extension preferences;· if you choose to export all the mail folders of the account or also the subfodlers, will be exported all the folders that aren't empty file;· with IMAP or NEWS folders, the export in mbox format will work just for the single folder, even without the "offline" option enabled;· if the account is very large, the export can take some time, especially with IMAP or NEWS folders;· in the status bar, you can see the progress of export;· the extension can import and export the folders with their subfolders, keeping their structure. To export in this way, choose from the "Import/Export" menu the item "Export folder with subfolders (with structure)" and you'll have a file, with the folder name, and a directory, with the folder name plus ".sbd". To import, choose from the import dialog the item "Import one or more mbox files, with its/their subdirectory" and select just the mbox file;· export of messages in plain text can be not perfect;· in messages export, it is used the subject to build the filename, converting the not-ascii chars in "_". You can avoid this conversion, choosing the option about it in extension preferences (Note: from 1.2.1 version by default the extension uses the original chars).· export in HTML or plain text format DOESN'T SAVE the attachments, like happens usually in Thunderbird. If you need to export/save messages with their attachments, use the EML or the mbox format.· copy to clipboard, when it's possible, is in HTML format; if you want it always in text format, you can choose this option in preferences panel (Note: this can give compatibility problems pasting in other programs);· export all messages of a folder, the files will have the name created by subject+index+date. If you prefer the order date+subject+index, enable this option in preferences panel;· usually export in HTML format reproduces the original HTML of the message, even it's displayed just as text. If you want to export in HTML respecting the view options of Thunderbird, you must enable, in preferences panel, the option "HTML format as displayed in messages panel". NOTE: this option can fix, in some cases, encoding problems due to bug 384127.How to Install in Thunderbird;1.
