I'm trying to export all of my e-mail from an IMAP account. As far as I know, Thunderbird doesn't provide any explicit export tools, but it does have a "Save As" option, thanks to which I can select all of the messages in a folder, select "Save As", and save them at one location on a disk. That's awesome, but in reality... for some reason Thunderbird doesn't save some of the messages. And it happens quite often -- at first I thought it mostly happens to e-mail with attachments, but it also happens to messages that are text-only. In addition to that, often future attempts to save the same message also fail -- nothing happens (in other words, if a message hasn't been saved when trying to save a bunch of messages, you can try to save just this one message, which might work (I think), but if an attempt to save that single message has failed, so will any consecutive attempts to save just this one message).
So, here's the question: Do you know how to export e-mail from an IMAP account in Thunderbird? Or do you know why the above happens and do you know a solution to this problem?
Thanks!
