Having problem extracting from Apple mail.

[vannuysd]

I'm using extractor 3.7.6 on a late 2013 iMac. I'm running Mac OS 10.14.5. I was able to find the mails I want extracted in my system library and they are in a .emlx format. I dragged a whole bunch onto the download arrow and I see them listed and II see the little message at the bottom that says "processing" but I don't see any movement and after several hours there is no report or anything. I"m not sure but there may be something like 6,000 of these emails. Is there a limit to how many can be processed? Am I doing it wrong? I did a screen capture and here is the link.

I'm a long time customer but have not used this tool in some years. Please help. My research project is stuck in the mud until I get this resolved.

Thanks!

Extracting emails from Apple Mail is explained here: How to extract emails from Apple Mail
You can't drop 'emlx' files directly, eMail Extractor doesn't support that format.

Hello, I have .mbox (instead of emlx) and while the extraction works, many addresses are trimmed at the begining and sometimes at the end. The name field is also butchered in the same manner.

eMail Extractor 3.6.6.
Apple Mail 10.3

Where does your .mbox come from? I mean, how did you created it?

It comes from Apple Mail's Library. I could I also export it and then process it, would that fix the issues ?

The best way is thru an export indeed. It is explained here: How to extract emails from Apple Mail.
