You could either use a local replica, or use the archive functionality.

Notes is a database product that stores data in its own way. For example, all your e-mails have a Subject. If Notes stored your e-mails as plain text, then each one would contain that word “Subject”. In fact Notes stores the word “Subject” in just one place in your mail database, and references it from all your e-mails. This is a more efficient way to store the data.If you want to get one e-mail out of your mail database, it is not so simple because parts of it are stored in different places. That is why you have to export it. Notes collects all the parts of the e-mail that are needed, and converts them to the data format that you specify.
If you wanted to store an e-mail in Notes format, then it would need to have a database all its own. This is technically possible, but this kind of database (an OND file – “one-note database”, perhaps) is only used for special purposes. So the OND data format is not normally available when you export an e-mail. A C programmer could add it.
