I use several of your longest folders and if your profile is in a standard Windows location such as:Ĭ:\Users\colin\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\fault\Mail\Local Folders\TopImportF.sbd Your debug help is appreciated, these types of problems are very hard to reproduce when you can work with the actual data.Īs far as I can tell it should be a path issue. To avoid the issue with such a large number of damaged folders it is often easier to start with a fresh profile (I am assuming you are starting with nothing before the pigs are always welcome! The problem you have deleted the folders is because the errors caused internal database errors. We may also try to import partial folders. Later I will post a new version of my test extension which should be better such large imports. Under Windows Explorer RightClick on the folder and choose properties.Ĭan you copy the output in the debug console after you try and import, we may catch some errors. You can get the number of folders and files as well as the total dataīy getting the properties of the top Folder on your hard drive. I actually have a prototype extension that has a complete rewrite of the EML import. If you have over ~400 Folders I know you will run into a problem. Okay 15GB is huge, we are probably running into several of the volume issues. I have spent 10 hours, and still NO luck importing the WLM email. In addition, I found it hard to delete all the imported empty folders under Local Folders, and am forced to delete each imported empty folder separately, one at a time, until the long list of empty folders is completely deleted. Unfortunately, EVERY time, I only get empty folders. I then right click new subfolder, click ImportExpertTools NG at the top of the list, then I click the "Import all messages from a directory", then click "also from its subdirectories." On the new laptop, I open TB and create a new subfolder under Local Folders to hold the WLM mail to be imported. The WLM message store was exported to the hard disc from WLM on the old laptop. However, I have failed over and over again trying to import my large WLM message store that is stored on a hard disc connected to the new laptop via a USB port. I am now trying Thunderbird as I like the single row format with flexible columns similar to WLM. I am NOT technical, and tried Outlook first, but did not like it. To ensure security, I have been trying hard during the past month to switch to a new email client on a brand new laptop. Unfortunately, like so many other good programs, MS abandoned it a few years ago. I have been using Windows Mail/Windows Live Mail (WLM) for years and love it.
