Question: I have followed all the instructions on how to archive and save Mac Mail folders/emails and have saved one folder to my USB to test it out. When I plug the USB drive into the PC and run the software, it says it can’t find any files ending in .mbox or .mbx even though I can see folders ending with that suffix. Can you tell me what the problem is? What if my Mac Mail application does not have an option to Archive Mailbox? What should I do if my Mac OS X Mail application do not allow me to archive mailboxes?
