Simple solution is to export your mailbox:
Export mailboxes
- Select one or more mailboxes, then choose Mailbox > Export Mailbox.
- Choose a folder or create a new folder, then click Choose.Mail exports the mailboxes as .mbox packages. If you previously exported a mailbox, Mail doesn’t overwrite the existing .mbox file; it creates a new .mbox file, such as My Mailbox 3.mbox.
And for getting you Gmail account backed up, have a look at this blog I found: http://applemailarchiver.tumblr.com/post/140761795371/backup-apple-mail-archive- gmail-account
