Running Thunderbird Supernova v115.1.0 I can import an MBOX file by simply copying the file into my Local Folders folder. I'd like to be able to export messages in a selected folder in MBOX format too but, if there is a way to do so, I've been unable to find it. Older questions refer to the use of an add-on named 'ImportExportTools NG' but the add-on manager in v115 tells me that add-on is not compatible.

Thanks David. That did the trick. Downloaded 'import-export-tools-ng-14.0.0-b6-tb.xpi' which appeared to be the most current beta version, used Thunderbird's Add-ons & Themes > Extensions > click the Gear icon > Install add-on from file > browse to and select the .pki file. Then was able to export the folder(s) I wanted. Very helpful.

I assume that add-on will be published eventually as a non-beta. But the beta I downloaded worked as desired without issue.

I agree. It's been in beta awhile, but a final version should soon appear.
