Just use Save As...
MacOS Mail can create an actual mbox file (as opposed to a folder of individual message files, called *.mbox). It's just that they don't call it "Export". Just select all messages, choose Save As... from the File menu and set the Format as Raw Message Source.

The resulting file may look somewhat like mbox format, but it is in fact not a valid mbox. For example, Mail does not escape lines that begin with "From ", so the message boundaries won't be correct if you import the file into another mail program.

I just now tested this and Apple's Mail *does" escape leading "From" lines, but it does it with a space rather than the traditional ">" character, and it only does it if there's text after the leading "From" that could possibly be interpreted as an address. The "elm" program on Solaris was perfectly happy with a mail folder I exported that I intentionally tried to break with leading "From" lines in the body of the messages. |
