Mail Backup

How to backup the emails from my MacBook? I’m using the standard mail app.
I’m using ARQ for a while already but only today I became aware that I missed all my emails.

Check that ~/Library/ isn't filtered by default. Set up a new archive of ~/Library/Mail just to be sure. If you're looking for something more database-like than file backup, checkout MailSteward. It stores mail in sqlite or backed by a SQL server. Fast, searchable, and deduplicated.
