The .mbox file you're looking for to import is inside the "xxxx.mbox" directory created by your Apple Mail export. |
Thanks @brianebeyer, that made my day ! |

If you want to import apple mails .mbox file to gmail account, then read this blog, it may help you: https://tech-vita.blogspot.com/2018/12/how-to-import-mbox-to-gmail.html |
Note that importing large amounts of mail using IMAP (as that post suggests) isn't recommended, as Gmail IMAP upload limit is quite small - 500mb per day. Also, that post suggests using a username+password, which isn't as secure as using OAuth (which Thunderbird supports). |
I am trying to migrate mbox files that I exported from the Apple mail software.
However, the system says can't process mbox files for user xxxx@yyyy.com
And then says:
IOErrr: [Errno 21] Is a directory: "Users/.../..../ xxxxx.mbox'
I have the fear that the Apple does not extract compatible mbox files for the migration. Any help is welcome.
