Once export is complete, you'll see an mbox file icon appear where you exported the Mailbox too. Do check to make sure all the mbox files and subfolders you created are there. Now delete the Archive you created in Mail by Control-clicking the mailbox and selecting Delete Mailbox. Don't worry - all your messages are already saved in your exported Archive. Whenever you need to search messages stored inside that archive, you should launch Mail and select File>Import Mailboxes, (select Apple Mail as data format). Click Continue and navigate to the exported archive(s) on your Mac, select the right collection and click Choose. In a little while, all your archived mails will reappear in Mail. Find the ones you need and copy, print or move them. Now, you can delete the Archived Mail you just imported (Right-click, Delete Mailbox) - all your archived mail remains safe in the originally exported box. This is how to cut clutter from Mail without losing any important messages.
