If you're not keen on archiving emails in your
Mail application, Mac OS users can backup their emails in a folder on their hard drive.

Close out the
Mail application and copy the following folder location into your
Finder:
Drive/Users/username/ Library/Mail
Drag and drop the folder onto your a removable disc. To restore it, simply copy it back from the hard disc to your hard drive.
The system will ask if you would like to replace the existing folder. Confirm by clicking
Yes.
N.B. You can also access your Mail preferences file by heading to
Hard disk/Users/username/Library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
