Export of Thunderbird inbox to Mbox file not quite working
by mfoley from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5RTJQ)
After researching on how to export my inbox to an Mbox file I found the suggestion(s) to use 'ImportExportTool NG' add-on. I installed that and ran it as instructed (right-click on Inbox folder > ImportExportTools NG > Export Folder). The resulting file, Inbox, is not an mbox file, at least not one like gets created by Linux in the /var/spool/mail folder. I cannot open it with mailx. doing 'mail -f Inbox' just shows 1 message (of 477 total). However, it does appear to open with mutt!
Is there some newer format for the mbox file that is not supported by mailx? Is there a way to convert this to the format used in /var/spool/mail (created by Sendmail)?
