If you want to export the messages in mbox format:
- Compact the inbox.
- Find the INBOX file in the IMAPMail folder in your profile.
- Copy it to your preferred destination.
- Rename the folder of messages so that you can import it into an e-mail client later without colliding with the inbox there.
If you want to export the messages in eml format:
- Compact the inbox.
- Use the add-on ImportExportToolsNG. Exporting a folder that large will take some time.
- Rename the folder of messages so that you can import it into an e-mail client later without colliding with the inbox there.
