Exporting all emails on Apple Mail App to store on external G-drive

I will try

Thank you for replying to my inquiry. I have tried the export function provided via Mail Box, but as noted I cannot detect that my email account has exported its contents to the external drive. Do you know why that function does not work? My emails are not stored on iCloud, correct? Does Time Machine function on my older OSX if I try to export from it? If my computer should crash, is Time Machine data also lost? When I am exporting individual folders to the external drive, I have copied each one individually and have needed to enter my password each time. Why does Mail app continually quit? Excessive emails?

Dear MVegas21,

I followed your directions for my older OSX El Captain and updated TimeMachine with backup to my external 4T G-Drive today. I opened the G-Drive to see if I could locate all the Mail, and I do not see a folder for them. As noted in my other reply, I used Mail Box with Export option to external G-Drive and I still do not see a folder for the Mail.

Where can I locate where all Mail is now stored on Time-Machine to G-Drive?

The Mac Mini El Capitan OSX Desktop Mail App quits repeatedly. I considered trying to sync or transfer all the 7000 plus emails to my iPad or SE iPhone Mail app, but I don’t want to risk running out of space on them or interfering with their functioning.

Are my original password and security questions stored on Mail App when I first set up the account for Mail?

Thank you very much for assisting me with these questions.

Additionally, the Mac Mini El Capitan OSX Desktop Mail App quits repeatedly. I considered trying to sync or transfer all the 7000 plus g/emails to my iPad or SE iPhone Mail app, but I don’t want to risk running out of space on them or interfering with their functioning. Do you know what causes Mail to repeatedly quit and how to remedy that?
