I'm worried about an XY problem... You could define an Archive folder
in Evo; see "Help ▸ Contents ▸ Mail Management ▸ Account Management ▸
some account type ▸ Defaults ▸ Mail folder locations". You could then
probably softlink the corresponding local folder to your NAS location
though I don't know how Evo behaves if that location cannot be reached.

Why would you want to manually save mail, in order to move old mail?

Indeed, Evolution is not a standalone single email message viewer tool
to view messages stored in random external places.

Where to visually see an own account after which exact steps?
Do you maybe describe some Outlook behavior or such?
