Email archiving - time to archive 50 thousand email messages

Noob question…

How long should it take to archive 50 thousand email messages?

  • Macbook air M3 24 GB Memory 256 GB “disk”

Guesstimates?

It’s impossible to say. It’s akin to saying, “How long will it take to get to California?” Are you in the US? New York or Nevada? Are you flying, driving, biking, or walking? You know the weather and traffic, etc. all come into play, etc., etc. There are many variables involved.

If these are stored in multiple submailboxes, process them individually. Also, they should ideally be local to the machine. See the Troubleshooting > Email Import Issues section of the built-in Help and manual.
