Review for SmartSave Thunderbird Extension by Kryclm
Rated 2 out of 5 stars
Please proceed with caution as I just found this import/export tool today. It's called ImportExportTools...http://www.nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/mboximport-en.html
I've only used it on 7 inbox subfolders and have not had any issues yet. It creates a html index of the emails that are exported which looks like it might come in handy for future accessing. Good Luck!
