ViceVersa Tools Brings up Thunderbird to TGZ Export Option to Its Windows Mail Conversion Catalog

New Delhi, India, Sept 12, 2026 — ViceVersa Tools has added a Thunderbird to TGZ export option to its catalog of Windows based mail conversion tools. The addition gives users a way to move mail out of Thunderbird and package it into the compressed TGZ archive format, a format commonly used for backup and cross platform storage.

The feature works in a single direction, taking data out of a Thunderbird profile rather than reading TGZ files back into Thunderbird. A person using the tool selects the profile or folders to include, chooses a destination, and runs the export. Folder organization is carried over into the resulting archive, so messages remain grouped the way they were in the original mailbox.

According to the company, the use case for this pairing tends to fall into two categories: IT staff archiving mail before decommissioning a mailbox, and individual users who want a portable backup of their mail outside of Thunderbird's own file structure. Because TGZ is a widely supported archive type across operating systems, the resulting file can be opened or extracted without needing Thunderbird installed on the receiving end.

"Archiving comes up almost as often as migration does," said a company representative when asked about the addition. "People don't always want to move to a new client, they just want their mail preserved somewhere stable."

This export option is delivered through ViceVersa Tools' shared catalog installer rather than as a separate download. The installer also includes the company's other Thunderbird format pairs, among them Thunderbird to PST, Thunderbird to NSF, and Thunderbird to MSG, along with conversions for other mail formats. A free version of the installer allows setup and a preview of the process. Paid access follows a tiered structure, with a Personal license, a Professional license that includes lifetime updates, and a Technician license intended for use across multiple machines. The installer supports Windows 11, 10, 8.1, and 8.
