How to export mails from mac mail
There are a few ways to export emails from Mac Mail:
Method 1: Exporting emails as a.mbox file
- Open Mac Mail and select the mailbox you want to export (e.g., Inbox, Sent, etc.).
- Go to File > Export > Export Mailbox.
- Choose a location to save the file and enter a name for the file (e.g., "My Emails.mbox").
- Select the format as "mbox" and click Export.
This will create a single file containing all the emails in the selected mailbox.
Method 2: Exporting emails as a.eml file
- Open Mac Mail and select the email you want to export.
- Go to File > Export > Export Message.
- Choose a location to save the file and enter a name for the file (e.g., "Email.eml").
- Select the format as "EML" and click Export.
This will create a separate file for each email you select.
Method 3: Exporting emails as a CSV file
- Open Mac Mail and select the mailbox you want to export (e.g., Inbox, Sent, etc.).
- Go to File > Export > Export Addresses.
- Choose a location to save the file and enter a name for the file (e.g., "My Emails.csv").
- Select the format as "Comma Separated Values (CSV)" and click Export.
This will create a file containing the email addresses, names, and other metadata.
Method 4: Using a third-party app
There are several third-party apps available that can help you export emails from Mac Mail, such as:
- Mail Exporter: A simple app that allows you to export emails as.mbox,.eml, or CSV files.
- Email Exporter: An app that allows you to export emails as.mbox,.eml, or PDF files.
