Unable to move mac OS Mojave v10.14.6

Hello.


My client lost most (thousands) of his e-mails on his IMAP servers, but he still has most of them as local

copies in his old 2012 13.3" MacBook Pro (MBP)'s mac OS Mojave v10.14.6's Mail app when I checked offline (no wifi

connection for Internet). I tried to move his thousands e-mails to new local folders, but they didn't move

at all. They got stuck at the first one. I am trying to save them before he uses his MBP's and to his

iPhone 11 Pro Max's Mail apps online again. I am hoping I can put them back on his IMAP servers and

iPhone with this method.


Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)
