Email Archiver
Email Archiver is a utility for macOS that converts emails from Apple Mail into individual PDF files for long-term archival. It reads through your Mail.app folders, creates a hierarchical folder structure matching your email organization, and exports each message as a PDF along with its attachments. The app is designed for users who need a future-proof, portable archive of their email — particularly useful for professionals, small business owners, and individuals managing important correspondence that may need to be accessed outside of Mail.app or preserved across account changes.

1 suggestionEmail Archiver was last updated in 2016 and appears to be abandoned — the developer's website is no longer active, and there is no evidence of recent maintenance or a native Apple Silicon build. The app continues to run under Rosetta 2 today, but will stop launching entirely when Apple removes Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028). If you rely on this tool, you should begin exporting and archiving your emails to PDF using an alternative method before that deadline. For straightforward email PDF export, Mail itself includes a basic Print to PDF feature (File → Print, then Save as PDF), which handles individual emails or small batches adequately. For bulk archival of your Mail library, consider Mailstrom (a web-based archival service that integrates with Mail), or use command-line tools like mailmac or mbox exporters paired with a batch PDF converter. These alternatives run natively on Apple Silicon and remain actively maintained, making them a safer long-term choice than continuing to rely on Email Archiver.
