I maybe onto something here. I’m thinking the original size of the mbox contained 1,416 records. However, I have removed a few hundred by dragging them into the trash. Now I’m left with 500 records.
I guess my new question would be…If I exported this mbox and imported it, into Apple Mail, would it contain 500 records or the ORIGINAL 1,416?
The # for the mailbox file shows the number of messages in that file, which doesn’t change because EagleFiler mailbox files are immutable. If you delete messages from a mailbox, EagleFiler marks them as deleted and doesn’t show them in the normal view. If you enable Show Deleted Messages, I think you would then see the original 1,416 records.
If you select and export the mbox, EagleFiler will copy it as-is, so you would get all the messages. If you Select All the messages and then Export, it will build a new mailbox file with just those messages.
