I've been using this without problems to do daily backups from tb 128.14.0esr, on Linux Mint 22.2 Zara
base: Ubuntu 24.04 noble, backing up to an internal drive on my laptop. But I would like to use a network drive attached to my router. That works for the initial backup, but then the daily backups (only files changed since last backup) run on TB exit starts, shows the backing up in progress please wait, after I click oK but the progress bar never moves at all and nothing ever happens. If I delete the initial full backup on the network drive and start again then the initial backup works, but subsequent backups again never write anything. I will try and submit a bug report.

Need to be fixed!!
For PDF export, not usable, because it uses this Special Characters in PDF for 'tt' 'ti' 'ft' and so on.
Why using this silly feature, so that exported PDF cannot be read correct from other programs?
No other PDF-converter in the world I know use this chars.
Please fix this.

Hello. I succesfully used your module during a long period to backup every day the application without any error message (!). Unfortunately I see today that nothing has been written on my HD since 8 months. What's matter with this? The parametrage is the same. Now the progress bar no longer move. version date 11/09/25. Thunderbird: 140.2.1esr (64 bits)
If you've a solution! Thanks

Thanks for the review despite your issue.
I can't debug here obviously. Can you post an issue in the Github repository where I can help you?

I very much like this tool. I think it's great and I use the backup scheduling daily. I do have a question (note: I'm not a computer expert so I may not be expressing this correctly). I do a daily backup of my profile with "Just files modified after last backup." It appears that, since the backup frequency is 1 day, the program requires at least 24 hours before it will do the next backup. Also, the backup only occurs upon program closure after that 24 hours (it says: "On the basis of the settings, it's necessary now to make the backup. During this operation, the program will be unresponsive for some minutes.")

Since the backup will only be done upon closure, and I close the program at various times during the day, it appears that the 24 hour backup clock gets reset to a new time depending on when during the day I do the trigger closure. Am I right about that?

If that is so, here's my request. Is there a way to set TB to do a backup closure at the same time every day? Am I missing some function for doing that in the ImportExportTools?

Alternatively, is there a simple way to do a task schedule for this in Windows Task Scheduler?

Again, I really like the tool. I hope I can get some help with this. Thanks.

Hi!
I'd like to have these info/upgrades for backup:
- does it start on TB opening?
- does it backup only one folder or all?
- if I backup today, will I have a tomorrow only the not saved ones?
- the field "Last backup" will contain last folder+date?

Upgrades:
- selection of which account/folders to be included in a backup?

Up to now I guess the best around.
Thanks

Une extension super utile. Je l'utilise pour archiver mes mails en local, au format Html directement consultable sur
mon PC, mais aussi pour les réimporter dans Thunderbird et faire des recherches plus rapide. Un grand merci aux développeurs

I am so sorry , I don't completely understand your issues. First, deleting emails has nothing to do with ImportExportTools, that's a Thunderbird function.
I also don't understand what you are referring to about your email address.
Can you post an issue in the Github repository :

OMG! This is the best extension EVER! It's saved me probably hundreds of hours of work! I use it to turn entire folders of emails into individual PDFs.

When I right click on ImportExportTools NG, it appears to be missing the two settings for "Import mbox Files" and "Import EML Messages." It only has the option to export. Can you advise How I get those to be added? Thank you

Esta análise é para uma versão anterior da extensão (14.1.8). 

kentie
Import mbox files is only allowed for Local Folders.
You should see import EML messages for both imap and Local Folders in the folder context menu.
Please open an issue in the Github repository if you still have a problem.
Also please reconsider your review since this is really a use question.

Excellent tool! Being new to TB and its add-ons, I had some difficulty understanding what I was supposed to do and which version of ImportExportTools I should use. Christopher was a great help to me throughout the process. It seems to have worked flawlessly in allowing me to import my mother's Windows Live Mail (yes, she was still using WLM!). Highly recommended. Thanks Christopher!

Hi,

I've been an importexporttools-ng user for many years and love the program.

I highly recommend it, particularly if you are switching among different work locations (like me!).

Looking forward to being able to use it on TB 136.0.1!

Thanks for a great program!

Thanks for the very nice review. Glad you are a long time user!
v14.1.7 will be out in a couple of days. It supports Thunderbird v136, however, I will not be supporting each monthly release so check before you do Thunderbird updates.

I needed to export Outlook to Thunderbird, and this was part of the solution (Importing MBOX file). It also has some other very useful functions which I will use in the future. Thank you.

Thank you for the review. I appreciate that you didn't do a one star like the previous reviewer.
v14.1.6 is actually in the review Q that supports Thunderbird v136. It should be released shortly.
Please be aware I will not be doing monthly updates. Check before you upgrade if you stay on the RC channel as oped to the ESR channel.

Importing eml files to thunderbird local folders will break attached files (can't open, can't download) which is quite serious as a problem
