Hi,

This is probably a simple question but I'm not sure and don't want to mess it up. I'm currently using Mail.app to connect to an IMAP account at my school. I've graduated so they're removing the account, but I'd like to archive my old emails locally before the shut down my account.

What would be the easiest way to do this? I see an "Archive" command in Mail.app, but I'm not sure if that creates a local copy or what?

Thanks for the help.

Drag the messages and folders you want to keep over to a different IMAP account, or use a script such as imapsync if you want to create a perfect mirror of your account to another IMAP account.

Yes, "Archive" creates a local copy in .mbox format that you can import into almost any mail application.
