Exporting mailboxes from Mail Archiver: better use MBOX or PDF format to import in DTP?

Hi. I’m using Mail Archiver X from Moth Software to archive all my emails.
Now I would like to use DTP 4.

In Mail Archiver, I can use MBOX or PDF format for export.
Which format do you think would be better (faster ? Lighter ?) to import in DTP ?

Thanks.

.eml files are usually smaller, provided there are no attachments. I’d personally prefer an .mbox import but PDF documents may suit your taste. I’d use File > Export as PDF in Mail then import the PDF and original email to see if you suits you more.
