Question: I have followed all the instructions on how to archive and save Mac Mail folders/emails and have saved one folder to my USB to test it out. When I plug the USB drive into the PC and run the software, it says it can’t find any files ending in .mbox or .mbx even though I can see folders ending with that suffix. Can you tell me what the problem is? What if my Mac Mail application does not have an option to Archive Mailbox? What should I do if my Mac OS X Mail application do not allow me to archive mailboxes?

Answer: Right click to the Mac Mail folder containing emails and use the “Export Mailbox…” option to save it into mailbox file. Do the same for other folders to archive them then use the main program guide.
Please don’t read below if the Export function is available and you may use it.
If the “Export Mailbox…” option is not available (older Mac Mail versions) you may need to find the folder containing the source mailboxes. Older Mac Mail versions store emails in *.emlx files and don’t allow to pack them into mailbox format. So you have nothing to do with email archiving option. You have to find the proper mailbox location and use the “Mailboxes” folder for the further conversion.

Note: Mac Mail may create several similar folders but the proper one is that which stores files with *.emlx extension. The message store location depending on Mac Mail application version and edition.
