Therefore I decided to archive old emails. I found a lot of relevant suggestions in this forum, and decided to test Eaglefiler, Horcrux and Mailsteward, but I was not thrilled by any of them, for different reasons. Then I thought the simplest solution was to export individual mailboxes under the mbox format. This works well (I am using Mailmate 5937). Then I am left with : how to easily read, search, …. these mbox files?</p>
