Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
Dear all
I would like to reduce my mail box on my Mac, so I would like to export some folders with old email;
I've selected the folder and then used the "Export Mail Folder " option. The problem si that every time I've tried it create a partial mailbox on my Mac "name..partial.mbox" containing only few of the emails;
Does somebody has the same issue ?
Any possible solution?
Thx
MacBook, macOS 10.15
Greetings, K1200R.
I see that you're having some problems exporting mailboxes from the Mail application on your MacBook on macOS Catalina. The problem is, another mailbox is created and it only contains a few emails. I'm glad to help with this.
Import or export mailboxes in Mail on Mac -- This article provides the information and steps that you need under "Export mailboxes".
How to use safe mode on your Mac -- If these were the steps you were using and the exported mailbox contains only part of the emails it contained, restart your Mac in safe mode and see if you can export the entire mailbox correctly now.
If the issue also happens while in safe mode, follow the steps under "If the issue continues in safe mode". If it doesn't, the steps to use is under "If the issue doesn't continue in safe mode"
Let me know how that goes.
Take care.

Thank you; I've already solved the issue; as on the folder there are more than 2000 email with attachment, my Mac need some time to complete the operation.
You're welcome, K1200R. We're glad you figured it out.
Have an excellent day!
