This would pretty much be my recommendation - create an additional
local account [MBOX or Maildir - PAYING ATTENTION TO WHERE YOU CREATE
IT] and move the stuff you want to archive to that account.  Then you
can go into Evolution and mark the account as inactive ...  until such
time as you need to access it again, then just toggle it back on.  For
backup of the archive you just make a copy of the account content [from
where you created it].
