I’ve a lot of people asking about archiving email, to say an external drive, but I’ve yet to find a solution that works.
I want to be be able to replicate the functionality of an Outlook PST file but using Apple Mail. I want to move\export email into a folder on an external drive which I can take offline but then open and access emails without importing on an as and when basis.
Any thoughts or suggestions really appreciated.

You can export a mailbox as an mbox file for storage and ultimately import into another Mail application installation.
See Import or export mailboxes in Mail on Mac
on your Mac, select one or more mailboxes, then choose Mailbox > Export Mailbox.You can export a mailbox as an mbox file for storage and ultimately import into another Mail application installation.

Once I've exported the mailboxes, how do I access the mail within? Is the only option to import them?
