Exporting Thunderbird emails with all attachments and data integrity was the biggest challenge for me. I check out a lot of ways for exporting Thunderbird data items with proper safety but unable to find out such a solution. But, a week ago, I found your tool on a forum site. After testing its with demo edition, I purchased the license and I am truly happy with its amazing performance & results.
