Suggest you take a look at this addon tool: ImportExportTools NG

How to install an addon extension:

After installing: right click on folder you wan to export as mbox file and select 'ImportExportTool NG' > 'Export Folder'

If specific email(s), then you can export them individually as eml files or if several selected emails as mbox file. Right click on selected highlighted emails in list > 'save selected messages' >select either 'eml format' or 'as mbox file new'
