A specific question!

To export emails from Apple Mail as EML files, you can follow these steps:

Method 1: Using Apple Mail's built-in export feature

  1. Open Apple Mail on your Mac.
  2. Select the emails you want to export by holding down the Command (⌘) key while clicking on each email.
  3. Right-click (or Control-click) on the selected emails and choose "Export Mailbox" from the context menu.
  4. In the "Export Mailbox" window, select "EML" as the file format.
  5. Choose a location to save the exported files and click "Export".

Method 2: Using a third-party app

  1. Download and install a third-party app like "Mail Export" or "EML Export" from the Mac App Store.
  2. Launch the app and select Apple Mail as the email client.
  3. Choose the emails you want to export by selecting the mailbox or folder containing the emails.
  4. Set the export options, such as the file format (EML), and choose a location to save the exported files.
  5. Click "Export" to start the export process.

Method 3: Using the command line

  1. Open the Terminal app on your Mac.
  2. Use the following command to export emails from Apple Mail as EML files:
    mbsync -a -E EML /path/to/export/folder /path/to/apple/mail/mailbox

    Replace /path/to/export/folder with the location where you want to save the exported files, and /path/to/apple/mail/mailbox with the path to the Apple Mail mailbox containing the emails you want to export.

Note: You may need to install the mbsync command-line tool if you haven't already. You can do this by running the following command:

brew install mbsync
