In the latest test version I've included a bundle named “Export” 
which uses the `formail` trick described by Bill Cole to create an mbox 
file. It has a setting which can be used to specify a destination folder 
(see the “Command ▸ Export” menu). If the destination is the 
Desktop and you archive an email located in “Archive/2013” in an 
account named “My Account” then it would result in the email being 
appended to this file:

	~/Desktop/My Account/Archive/2013.mbox

That is, if it works as expected. In theory, you could select all emails 
in an account and have them exported to mbox-files; one mbox file for 
each mailbox. (I don't know how this actually performs since I haven't 
tried.)

The bundle can be used as a starting point if you want to do something 
more advanced.
