Apple mail archive location

The location of the Apple Mail archive depends on the version of macOS and the type of storage you're using. Here are the common locations:

macOS High Sierra (10.13) and later:

• For accounts stored on iCloud: /Users/<username>/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes
• For accounts stored on the local machine: /Users/<username>/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes

macOS Sierra (10.12) and earlier:

• For accounts stored on iCloud: /Users/<username>/Library/Mail/V1/Mailboxes
• For accounts stored on the local machine: /Users/<username>/Library/Mail/V1/Mailboxes

Note: <username> represents your actual username on the Mac.

To access these locations, you can use the Finder:

1. Open the Finder and navigate to the specified location.
2. You'll see a folder named "Mailboxes" or "V2 Mailboxes" (depending on your macOS version).
3. Inside the Mailboxes folder, you'll find subfolders for each email account, such as "Inbox", "Sent", "Trash", etc.

Alternatively, you can use the Terminal to access the Mail archive location:

1. Open the Terminal app on your Mac.
2. Type cd ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes (or ~/Library/Mail/V1/Mailboxes for macOS Sierra and earlier) and press Enter.
3. You'll be taken to the Mail archive location.

Remember to be cautious when accessing and modifying the Mail archive, as it contains sensitive data.
