While there are various ways to copy the contents of individual mail items to a text document, which can be stored anywhere you wish, actual mail items and the folders that contain them, are located on your email providers server, and cannot be moved to a folder in iCloud, or anywhere else. These mail items and folders should remain on your providers server indefinitely, so you should not need to move them anywhere. You should be able to setup access to your mail accounts from multiple devices, and access these saved mail folders from any device that has access to a particular mail account.

I have been following recent posts about the backup and migration benefits of storing my Documents and Desktop folder in iCloud. I also store my contacts and calendar in iCloud which is great for sharing between iMac and iPhone and future migration to a new Mac.. I currently keep important Emails in some 30 mail boxes stored on my iMac, many of which I need to keep for several years. I am not using iCloud Mail. Is it possible to save these local Mail boxes in iCloud for backup and migration reasons? Many thanks for any tips.
