I have the same issue. But mine stops at 0% since it is a super huge e-mail account.

It worked for smaller accounts. 

It is POP3 not IMAP.

TB goes straight to 2GB and then the error appears in the console. A 64bit version may work or something else must be done. Since Console2 and other stuff is not available I can't tell on which folder it failed.
