Hi Thomas,

not exactly what you want: there is an AddOn called smart save which 
allows you to export thunderbird folders to your hard disk. it saves 
each email in a separate eml file. maybe you can configure saving as txt 
as well. But in this case I don't know how it will handle attachments.

There is a small bug: don't use any special characters in the folder's 
name (ü,ö,ä...). The saving doesn't work otherwise. (i sent an email to 
the develloper, as I didn't find any other way to report bugs)

I wish you fun backing up your emails.

Franz
