Thunderbird Drag n Drop????

[IJustDunno]

Why can't I drag and drop Thunderbird folders and extract?

I'm using version Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 (20070728)

Windows XP SP2

and v 3.2.1

Have you tried to drag and drop the folder to the notepad? What do you get?

[IJustDunno]

It does nothing. Works on .txt, .xls files, though. Anyone else have this problem?

What you see when you drag and drop the folder into notepad, is what eMail Extractor sees, and is attempting to scan that

When I drag and drop a Thunderbird folder into Notepad, I only see the text that identifies the folder, not the contents.

I am interested in purchasing eMail Extractor only if it will work with Thunderbird folders. Is there a trick? another step?

Will it work with the entire T-bird "Profile" folder?

Thanks.

Open a support ticket, compress a small Thunderbird folder and attach it. I will then tell you if you can do something with it.

Did anythin g happen with this.. Can one drag/drop from a TB folder?

Well after messing around a bit found this works.. for me anyway.

TB version 2.0.0.22 (20090605)
Max Pro 6.6

Exported the folder out of TB into .txt files. Valid, Bad, etc
Made TB smaller screen
Opened Extractor
Dragged Valid txt file into Extractor screen area- Named file so I knew what it was.

----

Opened Max Bulk
Created a NEW mailing
Opened XP Explorer
Dragged newly created Valid file by Extractor into thg new MAX
After duplicate taken out had a new Max with all addresses and usernames.
Saved it.

Opened Max and my main mailing database file.
Selected all in the new MAX Vaild file
Copied all I selected
Pasted this into my Main database.
After duplicates it showed in black type as opposed to the blue type of my previously succesful sending of the main Database.
Removed Duplicate again
Checked Previuew and settings then Delivey
Send..

Now I was up to date with all my emails that had come into TB.

Hope it works for you.
