I am working in a small organization, and we have several important email mailboxes saved in MBOX format from an old email client. Now, due to audit and legal documentation requirements, we need to convert MBOX files into PDF format along with all attachments. I must export all emails with their original formatting attachments should be included in the PDF or saved properly with each email. The tool or method should handle large MBOX files without data loss. It should also keep email metadata such as sender, receiver, date, and subject. Can anyone please suggest the best and most reliable way to export MBOX to PDF with attachments?
