Bulk converting IMAP emails to EML sounds simple until you actually try the manual route. The process means adding your IMAP account to an email client like Thunderbird, then saving emails folder by folder — one slow batch at a time.

Attachments get skipped, folder structure collapses, and a single sync interruption can leave your export half-finished. There's also no way to filter by date or clean up duplicates along the way. If you want a proper step-by-step way to convert IMAP to EML in bulk, the CloudMigration IMAP Backup Tool is built for exactly that.
