I think the import/export addon does that nicely

That export format is useless to me. Plus, that addon crashes my thunderbird after exporting.

In 2019 a guy named Matt sent me the following url

https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/

It worked perfectly until a recent Thunderbird update wiped it out, so I downloaded it again, but when I tried to add it to my current version of Thunderbird, 115.6.1, Thunderbird reported the file is unuseable, probably corrupt. So, I'm assuming that addon I got in 2019 is not compatible with the current version of Thunderbird, hence the reason I came back to the forum for help.

I hope I'm not screwed for being able to export emails by folder as individual eml files.
