Hi everyone,

I want to install Thunderbird 60 on a laptop in order to access a local file containing very old Gmail mails. The ImportExportTools extension will, apparently, only work with this version, not the latest one. (I've tried the latest Thunderbird).

I cannot find the installation file for TB 60, only release notes. Can someone help?

Thanks in advance.

Sonja.

ImportExportTools NG for TB 68 and 78: https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools-ng/

Before you go to the trouble of installing an older TB, note that an mbox file, the large files with no extension, named after folders, that are in the Mail/Local Folders, Mail/<popserver> or ImapMail/<imapserver> folders in the profile folder or profile backups, can be read in any version of TB, including 91, by copying the mbox file into Mail/Local Folders of the active profile. Help/More Troubleshooting, Profile folder, Open Folder, to open the active profile. Copy the mbox into Mail/Local Folders, then restart TB and find the folder under Local Folders in the Folder Pane.

If you have a gmail file obtained by the Takeout service, remove the .mbox extension.
