Benny,

You are awesome! Thank you, thank you, thank you for this function! It 
works perfectly with learnspam and now I can shelve Apple Mail forever.

FWIW, selecting all the mail in my “Junk” top-level folder and 
running the export command on it produces one file inside a folder for 
each account, which is quite sufficient for my needs.
