Saving a Folder

Post by orealius »

I'd like to save a specific folder before deleting it from the TB program. How do I do this?

What version of Thunderbird are you using?
How is that account set up in Thunderbird, as an IMAP or a POP type account?

You can use the ImportExportTools extension to save a folder of messages to another form like .eml or .txt. https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/th ... porttools/
With the IMAP account(s) you may have to copy (or move) messages to a sub-folder of the Local Folders structure before exporting.
