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")

set exportMailbox to (get mailbox mailboxName)
set exportData to exportMailbox's contents
set exportFile to (make new file at mailboxPath with properties {contents:exportData})
