Apple mail export to olm

A specific question!

To export emails from Apple Mail to OLM (Open Message Format) format, you can follow these steps:

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

  1. Open Apple Mail on your Mac.
  2. Select all the emails you want to export by pressing Cmd+A or by selecting the emails individually.
  3. Go to File > Export > Export Mailbox.
  4. In the "Export Mailbox" window, select "OLM" as the export format.
  5. Choose a location to save the exported file and click "Export".

Method 2: Using a third-party app

There are several third-party apps available that can help you export emails from Apple Mail to OLM format. Here are a few options:

  1. Mail Exporter: This app allows you to export emails from Apple Mail to various formats, including OLM. You can download it from the Mac App Store.
  2. OLM Converter: This app is specifically designed to convert emails from Apple Mail to OLM format. You can download it from the developer's website.
  3. EML to OLM Converter: This app can convert emails from EML format (which is compatible with Apple Mail) to OLM format. You can download it from the developer's website.

Method 3: Using a script

If you're comfortable with scripting, you can use AppleScript to export emails from Apple Mail to OLM format. Here's an example script:

tell application "Mail"
    set exportFolder to "path/to/export/folder"
    set exportFormat to "OLM"
    set selectedMailboxes to selection
    repeat with eachMailbox in selectedMailboxes
        set mailboxName to name of eachMailbox
        set mailboxPath to POSIX file (exportFolder & "/" & mailboxName & ".olm")
        tell application "System Events"
            set process "Mail"
            tell process "Mail"
                set exportMailbox to (get mailbox mailboxName)
                set exportData to exportMailbox's contents
                set exportFile to (make new file at mailboxPath with properties {contents:exportData})
            end tell
        end tell
    end repeat
end tell

Replace "path/to/export/folder" with the actual path where you want to save the exported file.
