Bit of help with Mozilla Thunderbird plz....

[ZaO]

When I run Thunderbird I have an old email account on there which I deleted a couple months back. It's still showing all my messages which is cool because I want to keep hold of them as most of them are receipts. What I need to do is get the files out of the Thunderbird program and onto my computer as html files (as I assume that's what they originally are). Anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

They're probably .eml files. Select them all and save as. Don't know what makes up an .eml file, but you can open them in most email clients.

This add on allows html export:

Thanks man I didn't need that addon. That was so goddamn easy lol. I swear I didn't notice the option to do that earlier!

Ok I have another question! Avast tells me to disable the encryption so that it can scan the emails and will provide it's own encryption. Sounds good right. But is it encrypting the passwords also? Some people are saying that it probably isn't, and I'm really not sure. Gmx doesn't support the encrypted password option in Thunderbird so apparently the password is encrypted along with the emails rather than having it's own seperate encryption. So I'm worried that if I turn the encryption off and let Avast do it that my passwords are not safe. I don't feel like I've explained that to well but hopefully someone will understand what I'm getting at here? Thanks!
