Q: How do I download the emails on my Mail to a folder on my macbook?

Hello RobRey77,

Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to save emails to a folder. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Mail (Mavericks): Save messages as files or PDFs

 

• To save messages as files to use in other apps, select one or more messages or conversations, then choose File > Save As.

  Rich Text Format retains formatting, but Plain Text does not. Raw Message Source saves messages in mbox format, which can be imported into Mail and most other email apps. With Raw Message Source, the header is visible and an encoded version of attachments is retained.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Have a good one,

Mario
