Archive older mail on a external drive, while keeping them available on Apple Mail. Hello, in many years of work I have mails for about 300 Gb. These mails are stored locally in two mailboxes called ARCHIVE-OUT.mbox ARCHIVE-IN.mbox in MacOs/user/library/mail/v10 I would like to archive them to an external drive in order to free MacOs drive space but I would like them to remain available in Apple Mail search. I searched a solution for long but didn't found it. Any suggestions ?? Thanx !!

Apple Mail - Save/Archive Mailbox I will soon lose access to my work email account (leaving the organization). I'd like to keep my emails, it's somewhat large (4 years, 25,000 message Inbox, 11 GB). I've tried: -Creating a mailbox "On My Mac" and copying the messages there. However, several do not open, they contain the header only and a blank body. Rebuilding the originating mailbox did not help. -Exporting to an .mbox. However this resulted in a ~2GB file that contained only ~7500 messages. Any ideas on the best way to keep these emails?? Thanks!!

Using Emailchemy was what was offered in this post: Export Mailbox file size limit - Apple Community

I have not personally tried this product so I can't attest to its functionality.
