Hi,
I have a large MBOX (14gb). Trying to import into Apple mail. This
is hopeless. I tried Thunderbird which seems to maybe work but does
not give me a sent folder. Any ideas? I have not yet tried splitting
the mbox into smaller files.
14G? (Cue Foreigner): He's a mbox hero...
I long, long ago moved my messages to maildir (one message per file)
format, but I suspect my existing mbox file was no more than several
dozen MB at that point.
There are scripts for mbox-to-maildir conversion, but I don't know
that Apple mail would have any better luck with maildir.
