The problem isn't backing up your mail from Mail.app, it is re- 
integrating your mail after you have recovered from a disaster.    
I've heard from several folks who have tried doing it, and it wasn't  
as easy as you might suspect.

That's why it is a good idea to use a mail backup program.  The  
program can not only automate the archiving of your mail, it can make  
recovery after a mishap a trivial affair.
