  When I try to import an enex file, I get a popup which says “A Javascript error occurred in the main process”. Any ideas on why this is happening? Thank you.

  Good. You may want to try a different method – switch from computer to web, or the reverse. The Simplenote web app is app.simplenote.com. Simplenote stores your data in its private cloud server, so notes are available on all platforms, once imported.

  Thanks for the suggestion, but the web app doesn’t accept .enex format files.

  I’m having the same issue when I try to import .enex files into the SimpleNote Desktop on a Windows PC.
