Label Creation & Skipping Issue about import-mailbox-to-gmail HOT 3 CLOSED

Are there mbox "files" from Apple Mail?

If so, the way to convert them to standard mbox files (that this script can handle) is by right clicking the folder in Apple Mail and choosing "Export Mailbox". This creates file folders named foldername.mbox with a file named "mbox" inside of them, that import-mailbox-to-gmail can handle.

I've never heard of .emlx files before, a quick Google search found that this is a format used by some versions of Apple Mail. I hope you can still open them in Apple Mail and export as I suggested. Apple Mail 10.3 (on macOS Sierra 10.12.6) produces the export format described above, that should work with this script.

I hope this helps! Please let me know if it worked. :)

Thank you. Yes, it worked once I exported the emails from the Apple Mail "Export Mailbox".

Previously, I was taking the files from the Apple Mail Library directly to avoid some issues I'd been having with the export.

It's all working now. Thank you once again :)

Thanks for confirming! :) I updated the instructions.
