TL DR: I need to export all messages from an Apple Mail folder to a FileMaker-readable CSV file. If someone knows about such a script or is willing to write it, I would really appreciate it. This does not have to be free (although I wouldn't mind :) - I'd gladly pay for something reliable and simple. No interface, no configuration - just something that spits out all messages from a folder and tells me when it's done. Mail Archiver X has a free demo mode which has the same functionality as the paid version.

So I'm looking for a more simple solution: an AppleScript that will export all messages from exactly one folder ("To Archive") in Apple Mail (4.5/Snow Leopard or 5.0/Lion) as a simple CSV or. While that process works, it is kind of clumsy (Apple Mail > Mail Archiver X > FileMaker DB #1 > FileMaker DB #2) - and it breaks every time when there is a new version of Apple Mail or OS X until "Mail Archiver X" has been updated by the developer.

I'm using a product called "Mail Archiver X" to archive messages from Apple Mail into a custom FileMaker database ("eMailViewerX" - this is the target database that comes with Mail Archiver and is required for the process), from where I copy these messages to my main message archive ( another FileMaker DB).
