Hi Alug
Hi there
Query I store my emails in folders I create within Thunderbird, then hope to export those I need to keep longer to my main drive outside of Thunderbird. This is fine for just one/individual email, as I can do a SaveAs to file. This is not fine if I want to export/save a whole folderfull of emails, as the 'File or Template' option of File/SaveAs/File or Template is greyed out.
I am not a thunderbird user but can't you select multiple messages by holding down the control key ? or a block of messages by clicking on the first one and then holding down alt when you click on the last one ? What happens to the SaveAs option then ?
Alternatively if there is an export function can it not select specific folders to export from or can it only do the whole of your mail store ? If you only get an option for Inbox, Drafts, Sent etc then can you create a new folder called archive at that level rather than a sublevel of the Inbox and then just export that ?
Sorry mostly guesswork there
