    To convert MBOX to EML from Apple Mail archives, the easiest and safest approach is to first locate the MBOX files exported from Apple Mail and then use a reliable conversion tool. Apple Mail stores emails in MBOX format when you export mailboxes, which can be accessed directly for conversion.

    Start by exporting the required mailbox from Apple Mail using the Export Mailbox option. This creates an MBOX file on your system. Once the MBOX file is available, open it using a dedicated utility like the MailConverterTools MBOX Converter Tool. Add the exported Apple Mail MBOX file to the tool, preview the emails to ensure data accuracy, and select EML as the output format. Choose a destination folder and begin the conversion.
