Export and Import of Mail boxes

Due to recent system upgrades, Monterey 12.6.4 and my domain host, I must delete my account in Mac Mail and reinstall. Though I have read through the article about exporting and importing mail boxes within Mac Mail, can someone tell me if this really works. I do not want to loose years and yeas of email history.


Thank you.

Yes it does work. Just click on any mail folder and select export. You can export to an external thumb drive or similar. These will make .mbx files. Once back in mail you can select import on each folder. Once imported you can then move all the mails to any other folder you wish.
