TB provides a command line switch "/Export". Though you can use it
to export only one folder at a time, as within TB, it can be used to
write a simple .bat file that would export all of your folders.
(Hint, with DOS's Dir command you may generate a list of all the
subdirectories under the home directory of your mail, in the same
structure and names as your folders in TB. Then it isn't too hard to
add the appropriate command in front of each item with an editor.)
Since you're experimenting the export function as a precaution (in
case you'll need to convert to other email software again in the
future), if I understand you correctly, we don't have to go into the
details at this time. Suffice for you to know it can be done, though
not from within TB itself. Who knows, the day may never come, or by
then TB may have had the function for you.

Welcome aboard.
