IMPORT mbox

[michaldejmek]

Hi, thanks for the great tool.

I have a few questions:

• The export of the email is done OK, is there a log if any email is omitted .?
• I'm trying to import a file into Thunderbird using "ImportExport Tools NG" - but the folder structure is different than on the original server. Now it is INBOX.TEST, but originally it should be INBOX and subfolder TEST.
• would it be possible to remove the word mbox after importing it to "Thunderbird" example: INBOX.TEST.mbox ..?

Regarding the export to "Thunderbird" function, after running imap-backup utils export-to-thunderbird xx a new profile is created .? Or just copy the data from the .imap-backup/xx folder to the current profile .?

Thank you Michal.

Hi @michaldejmek

By default, export-to-thunderbird exports to the default profile. When exporting to Thunderbird, it modifies mailboxes to make them compatible with Thunderbird. It does not export mailboxes with the .mbox extension.

I've just released version 10.0.0 of imap-backup.

Now, during export, you will see the paths where folders have been exported to.

Also, now, export-to-thunderbird requires that Thunderbird has at least one account set up. The program now halts if no account is found.
