There are at least 2 applications for extracting messages from CE that are not free Applescripts. Both run in OS X. The first is eMA which is basically a Filemaker Pro database with scripts to collect the messages from various email clients (Filemaker not required).The second is Emailchemy. Both provide good support.
eMA is a shareware program that seems to still be in beta and Emailchemy is a commercial application. I really like the Filemaker format of eMA but it would not handle my client Gyazmail. I now archive to mbox format and used Emailchemy to convert my CE messages to mbox some time back. I hope that eMA will be able to convert mbox files to Filemaker in the future and I can get everything into eMA/Filemaker.
