Current Version of Mozilla Thunderbird Not Compatible with "ImportExportTool NG" Add-on (Tool for Importing .MBOX Files)

Environment

Mozilla Thunderbird, .MBOX file types

Issue

The current version of Mozilla Thunderbird is not compatible with the "ImportExportTool NG" add-on (i.e., the tool for importing .MBOX files into Thunderbird)

Resolution

We recently discovered that the most current versions of Mozilla Thunderbird are not compatible with the "ImportExportTool NG" add-on, which is required for importing Google Takeout .MBOX files.

The workaround is to download an older version of Thunderbird, which works correctly with the add-on.  Once the older version of Thunderbird is installed, the remaining instructions in our documentation still apply.  Version 102.9.1 can be downloaded from the links below:
