HOW CAN I BACK UP MAIL IN MONTEREY 12.2

My Mail App is slowing down my MacBook Pro M1 running Monterey 12.2. How does one back up ALL my mail?....and also delete the Mail App (freezes when I click to open an email) and restore it possibly in a few days time?

The Mail app is part of macOS and can't independently be deleted/reinstalled.

You can only reinstall the entire macOS


You can backup by exporting your Mailboxes. Maile>Messages in menu bar and select Export.

If you go to Mail>File in menu bar there is a item for importing Mailboxes.


There are apps for backing up mail messages independent from Tie Machin.
