How to manage Mail Rules?

I've created a couple of rules to move emails to trash or junk & I like what they do. But if I ever want to modify or delete one it's very time consuming to scroll through & find it.

How can I export a list of the conditions & criteria for each rule to better manage them?


BTW, I've found older posts saying to do it by navigating to the a mail folder in the Library but I can't find it.


Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the prompt feedback!

Especially thank you for the importance of the "~"!

You're correct as the file contents are pretty cryptic. But I got the data over to Numbers & can find the key elements that I can use to remove duplication & other clean up.

I sure wish Apple would make this task easier!

Thanks again 6x6!
