Neither TB nor NG Export no longer allows you to export attachments along with emails

more options

Can no longer export messages as single text file, nor export messages AND attachments. NG Export worked beautifully, but no longer does. The only options for NG Export are now to export the profile, and for Thunderbird itself copy and past Emails ONLY as emls. Help!

Chosen solution

ImportExportTools NG exports a folder as a single text file and also a selection of messages as plain text with attachments, on TB 115 and 128. Right-click a folder, IET NG, Export All Messages in Folder, Plain Text Format, Messages as Singe File or Messages as Single File With Attachments. Or, right-click a selection of messages, Export Messages As..., Plain Text Format, Messages and Attachments.

Dear SF Howes, I was using an older version of I/E NG that apparently doesn't work with 115/126. I deleted, reinstalled, and all the options seem to work well except for folder level exports. The app cycles through posting files and attachments that have been exported without ever giving the option of choosing a Windows folder to Export to. After an extensive search of all C:\ and local folders, I could not find the exported folders anywhere. Please advise. The funciton worked very well on previous versions of I/ET NG and Thunderbird. Thanks.
