“Mail Extractor Max” is a software program that converts Apple Mail emails to various formats including Olm, Rge, Mbox, or Eml.
Note: If you are planning to move data from Apple Mail to Mac Outlook 2011 / 2016, then we recommend you to try our another software called ‘Mail Extractor Pro‘. Mac Outlook can import OLM, PST and RGE file format. Mail Extractor Max can convert Apple Mail to RGE file format and Mail Extractor Pro can convert Apple Mail to PST file format.
The tool outshines in its ability to thoroughly convert each and every element from Apple Mail emails, without any data corruption. It also supports both options to automatically load “Mail” folder or manually load Mbox files.
