Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 58140

(Thunderbird :: Migration, enhancement)

Description

[towsonu2003]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061208 Firefox/2.0.0.1
Build Identifier: 1.5.0.9 (20061206)

I was looking at ways to save a big number of emails in a folder and found that I can't choose a folder (or all emails in that folder) and do File>Save as

Use case: 
Before feature: I have 100 emails in a folder that I want to save in a text file, along with these emails headers. I should type ctrl+s 100 times

After feature: I have 100 emails in a folder that I want to save in a text file, along with these emails headers. I go to File>Save all and they all get saved (along with their header info) to a txt file.

After feature: (advanced?) I have 100 emails in a folder that I want to save in a text file, along with these emails headers. I go to File>Save all and they all get saved as multiple.eml.gz (or zip, I'm using linux)
