recursive hierarchy import

Open ddyer0 opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

I have a deep hierarchy of .mbx files. There ought to be a way to import everything in one swell foop, and automatically create subfolders and subsub folders

+1 This is sorely needed.

Please add the options "All files from folder tree... (reconstructing folder hierarchy)" and "All files from folder tree... (flat import, save all in the same folder)" for all importable formats.

@ddyer0 @noyannus Sorry for the late reply. I assume you are talking about a folder structure that is not a Thunderbird sbd Subfolder structure? Yes that's on my roadmap. @cleidigh

That's good to hear. Such a useful tool (I'm importing >1k mails right now) :-)

@noyannus Thank you very much! Great that you find it useful 👍 I'm about to release v14.1.6 with more error handling AND the return of multiple folder exports. Then I have to focus on multiple step full rewrite. I am battling ancient code that has to be updated to the new standards so I can more easily add features like this. @cleidigh
