Linux Mail Folders #110

Open Crooow opened 4 years ago

I may just not understand this tool.

Is this even supposed to import Linux Mail folders? I.e. as in moving from Claws Mail to Thunderbird?

It allows selection of the root Mail folder, and local folders are created for all the subfolders, but no messages are actually imported.

Bug, or is it not intended for this?

Linux Mint 19.2 with Cinnamon desktop, Claws Mail 3.16.0, Thunderbird 68.7.0, ImportExportTools NG 4.1.0

Thank you.

@Crooow I have Mint myself for testing L* there are also several other users personally worked with using the same setup. What I do not know is the structure of a Claws message structure. Can you give more details on that?

file format
folder structure example
which import types did you try? @cleidigh

I also have this issue, on linux mint. Not sure if I understand it either. I have a previous directory that was used to store Local Folders under thunderbird before. Not sure how to get them back in, after reinstalling tbird, so tried to use this extension. The folders/files are the same format as they were before, in Local Folders, and this accepts the directory but does not import anything. I may be using it wrong (fairly likely).
