TB 115.10.0 32bit Windows 10 Hi, I'm unfamiliar with GitHub but I can't find another way to contact you. Your Add on does exactly what I need but only on complete Folders. My Folder has 120.000 Messages. I created a query and stored it in a virtual Folder. Right click on this folder offers me "Export all senders to csv" but there is no progress. Best regards Stefan

Hi Stefan,

I think we are going to need a little more information in terms of what is happening on your end. 120K messages should work fine, but I'm not sure that we have ever tested a "virtual folder" -- Or quite honestly didn't even know that there was such a beast. That said are you referring to the "Smart Folders" feature for filtering messages?

If so, this one might be a wee bit tricky, as I don't believe we originally had considered that one when we first came up with this add-on. Nevertheless, always willing to see if we can add that. Please confirm that Smart Folders are what you are referring to.

Hi Tony, to my surprise with TB language set to "english (GB)" it turns out as "Saved Search". In your Inbox choose: File - New - Saved Search While "Saved Search" describes what to expect, the german translation in TB is a hint that messages displayed here are links to the original mail. Perhaps "export to csv" simply doesn't follow these links and so offers to download an empty list.
