    Hi

    Currently, I am using Mozilla Thunderbird email application on Windows operating system. But, due to some reasons, I want to save them in PDF format so as to save them anywhere on my machine. I don’t know how to convert Thunderbird mail to PDF file as I have no clue about the files in which all the emails are saved and process to export all the email messages. Please suggest any method to do so. Thanks in Advance!!

    Hi Edwin

    First of all, let me tell you that all the emails in Thunderbird are saved in MBOX file format in a concatenated way. You can simply download and install Import/Export add-on and convert them to PDF format.

    I have tried this utility but I am unable to convert Thunderbird mail to PDF format as I have bulk email messages and it is taking too long to export the files. Please tell any simple solution to convert all the emails to Adobe portable document file format.
