Archive multiple Mail messages as single text file
Authored by: jerrykrinock on Jun 11, '14 07:31:21AM

I would add that the user interface of this feature has not been designed for large exports. You need to wait patiently until your file appears. I selected 867 HTML messages and did a Save As…. The sheet rolled up, but there was no indication that anything was happening, except for the fact that, in Activity Monitor, Mail.app was using 99% CPU. About a half hour later, my file appeared! All 15.5 MB. Had I quit Mail during this half hour, it would not have worked.
