After cancelling an email account all emails from that account went offline, and because they are offline I'm not able to save them on my mac. I have tried exporting and then importing the mailbox but the messages that come up after the import are different from the ones on the offline mailbox. Please help!

Recreate that account temporarily.
In Mail, create one or more mailboxes under “On my Mac”.
Copy the desired messages from the account mailboxes to the On my Mac ones.
Then you can remove the email account and the copied messages will stay where they are: “On my Mac”.

Wow! Thank you so much! Your Second Method solved the issue! I had already tried the First Method and it did not work. For some reason exporting and importing did not work even after several attempts but importing straight from the ~/Library/Mail/V6 did work! Here is what I did by applying your Second Method:
Thank you so much!!!!! Lots of gratitude!!!!!!!
You can export and save all your Apple Mail mailboxes data items using the help of below mentioned steps:-
First Method: Export mailboxes and Save Offline Email Data
Second Method:-
You can go directly to the folder where Mail saves its data through the Finder and duplicate it to store a copy elsewhere. Inside the Finder, menu Go > Go to Folder and then paste this path:
~/Library/Mail/V5
And the last option you may go for some reliable and trustworthy 3rd party application that might be available in the apple mail backup.
Let me know if this was helpful. Thanks
I was thinking about copying the messages, not moving. Hold down the option key while dragging to make a copy.
Or if you really want to move them - which means they will be deleted from the e-mail account and therefore inacessible from any other machine or from a webmail client - then you have to temporarily take the account online.
Can you temporarily bring the account online?
Thank you so much for your reply, I appreciate you trying to help me! The problem is that I already tried what you suggested and it doesn't work because I get a message saying the emails could not be moved because the account if offline.
I had also tried those steps previously and the emails cannot be moved or copied because the account if offline. That's the whole point of my question, to figure other ways since I've tried these and they are not working.
