TIP FOR ANYONE STRUGGLING WITH THUNDERBIRD VERSIONS: When you first open thunderbird, go to Tools > Options, scroll down and check the updates aren't automatic. I kept closing version 71 and re-opening the latest version with no warning that it had updated. Look at Help > About to check you haven't been switched for a recent version that won't allow the extension. And thanks so much man! I can't believe how hard it was to do something that about a million people a day want to do, thanks for walking us through this.

Thank you so much! I have been using gmail for ~8 years and for the past couple years I've been putting off backing up, downloading, archiving, or doing something to my emails, and now, this past week, I finally ran out of room! What you showed us here is going to allow me to selectively download and then delete all the older emails I don't immediately need, and free up sooo much storage space on my google account! Thank you so much!

very detailed and easy to follow. thank you very much! I have a question. As I could understand, the backup emails are on the bottom part (folder) in the 'all mail including spam and trash' is that correct? As the top part is the realtime part of the inbox. (meaning if things from the top part are deleted, they can't be recovered.) My question is, is it possible to have a similar folder structure in the bottom (backup) part? Thanks
@NextTechNT

Unfortunately I have not found a way to make the backup retain the labels that you had originally set-up in your Google Account. Therefore it seems to just throw all of your emails in one folder. Also thanks for the compliment and so happy you enjoyed the video.

I had a Mac/Gmail issue that I couldn't resolve. I sent an email to the NexTech general inbox and told them upfront, "guys I can't be your customer because my company isn't big enough but I have a problem. Can you help me?" Within 12 hours Josiah sent back detailed instructions on how to solve my problem and said if I had further questions he would be happy to assist. That's how he treated someone who will most likely never be a customer. I can only imagine how lucky his real life customers are to have him. Thanks guys for paying it forward.

I think you can skip the configuration unless you want to link a real account to import information through. Then it depends on the account you are syncing.

I've added the Mbox file using the import tool however, the unread number populates and so does the folder under local folders but when I click on it, there are no individual messages. Just says Thunderbird Mail- Local Folders at the top and then some settings menus but no emails like in the inbox. The loading circle on the top left is spinning but I'm not sure if it's frozen/stuck or actually loading all of the emails. Been like this for 60 minutes now with no emails appearing under the folder. I am moving over 80,500 emails.

@NextTechNT

I know this is late, but all you have to do at that point is export and import each mail app should have instructions on how to import from an account. However, typically what you want is to import that email into a live email account. So add your email account into the mail app, then drag and drop those emails into the account and they should sync up. Then when you link your mail account they will sync to the more superior mail app like Canary, Spark, or Polymail :) Hope that helps.

I’ve seen this a couple times. If your looking at the read number I would expect it to go down. If it is the total count it is probably a glitch or a miscount. Was this the backup or could it have been on the smtp server after the transfer. Some settings will not keep local emails older then one year though. I would be surprised if it deleted them, most likely it is a setting somewhere or a glitch. Hopefully that helps in some way.
