Export iCloud Emails: Securely Download Apple Mail to Your Computer
Whether you are running out of your free 5GB iCloud storage or simply want a local backup of your digital life, exporting your Apple emails is crucial. Apple does not offer a convenient 'Download All' button for iCloud Mail. With the mailriva app, you can export your entire iCloud mailbox reliably to any PC or Mac.
The App-Specific Password hurdle
When you export iCloud emails, Apple's strict Two-Factor Authentication means your standard Apple ID password will not work if you try to connect an external backup tool. You must generate a temporary App-Specific Password. mailriva lets you save locally and is designed to handle this requirement seamlessly.
No Manual Drag & Drop
The automated process prevents app crashes with large mailboxes.
Perfect Structure
All your custom Apple Mail folders are recreated 1:1 on your hard drive.
Attachments Included
Large photos and documents sent via Mail Drop are downloaded.
Cross-Platform
Works on both macOS and Windows PCs.
