You can export your Apple Mail mailboxes with the following steps:

First Method: 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.

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

FOr third and last option you may go for any third party app available online for apple mail backup. The Backup query for Apple Mail has been covered multiple times on this forum, have a look at some of those, might be helpful:
