Hi,  
I’m new this forum not sure if this is posted in the correct section.

I have TB 59.2 on a W10 ASUS ROG Strix gaming laptop because of the clear menu & would like to export emails in a **folder** to my hard drive. If that is possible, if so how do I accomplish that?

Regards

DaveRo, 😃  
Thanks for your quick response.

My version of TB is too old. I use this older version so I’m not getting update notices all the time as they interrupt my work, also this ver has clearer icons on the menu.

I only need email that I can insert an image into the msg screen. Outlook Express would work fine as the Important Part of communication is in the content.

Is there a Firefox division/area of this forum?

How about the original version of the same addon?
