Note that the standalone KindleUnpack tool does not create an epub from the older MOBI7 format. For those, it simply produces an html file and an opf file. Only the KF8 format (or the Kindlegen dual format mobis) will result in epubs being created when unpacked.

The KindleImport Sigil plugin will do its best to massage a coherent epub (using KindleUnpack) from these older mobi7 files if you need that kind of functionality. Otherwise you'll have to do it manually.
