Thunderbird is one of the most popular email clients out there, and since a lot of businesses use it as well, it makes sense for IT admins to want to create regular backups.

Cigati Thunderbird Backup Tool is one of the apps that can be used for this purpose, especially since it allows users to choose specifically the messages they want to export.

As you would expect, you need to make sure Thunderbird is already installed onto the host computer, as the portable edition is not correctly detected by the software.

Next, as soon as you launch the main window, it automatically scans your PC and imports the data from your Thunderbird profile, so no action on your part is required.

Depending on how many messages you might have, this process might take a while to complete; once it is finished, you can explore all your emails along with all the folders you created to organize your data. This way, you can easily browse to the directory you need and look for one or more messages you want to backup.

Unfortunately, there is no search function, so you need to manually browse all the shown emails until you find the one you are searching for.

Once you marked the emails you want to export, Cigati Thunderbird Backup Tool allows you to choose the destination format, like PST, OST, MBOX, EML, MSG, CSV and many others.

Alternatively, you can migrate your data directly to other email clients, such as Gmail, Office 365, IMAP, Yahoo Mail, Live Exchange, Amazon Webmail, iCloud, and so on. Moreover, you can use a date filter to make sure you only backup the messages you received within a certain time frame.

To wrap it up, Cigati Thunderbird Backup Tool is a reliable solution for migrating your Thunderbird data to other formats, including third-party email clients.
