How to export an account and reimport it to a different account

[BobMCT]

Quick one. This looks like an extremely useful extension. I seem to not be able to find a definitive answer to this question. Hopefully someone there can advise?
I have an email account at charter.net that I need to switch over to gmail.com. My TBird currently has both accounts that connect fine. Can your extension be used to export all the email folders and messages to a file(s) on my local system and them import them into the gmail account?
If so please advise which function(s) one would use to accomplish that?
Thank you so much for any guidance you can provide.

The simple answer is yes. This operation uses some of the most used functions of ImportExportTools NG.

There are three steps to this.

• Exporting your entire charter account to a set of mboxes (email folder message files)
• Importing that tree into Local Folders (imports do not get imported to the server directly)
• Copying the folders you want to the Gmail account (Using Thunderbird copy folder)

Here are the specific operations :

• Right click on your top level of your charter account (x@charter.net)
• Choose ImportExportTools NG\Export Account
• Choose a directory to save the account tree
• Right click the top of Local Folders
• Choose ImportExportTools NG\Import mbox files \All mbox files from a directory (with sbd structure)
• Choose the top directory you exported x.charter.net
• This will import your entire account to Local Folders
• Now use Thunderbird copy folder to bring whatever folders you want on the Gmail server
