I'm using Fastmail and its web interface as my email client and I'd like to clean it up but save multiple hundreds of emails to some text-based format.
Is there any macOS email client or utility that can do it?

Unfortunately, emails are not backed up by iTunes/iCloud, so you'll need to go deep into the filesystem (you need to be jailbroken).
Assuming you are, then these are the steps you need to follow:
1) SSH into var/root/library/Mail 2) The mail database is contained inside a file called EnvelopeData. There is no .sqlite extension, but it is an SQLite database 3) Open the SQLite database using a program like MesaSQLite 4) Extract
I haven't personally tested this, but it should work.
You could use the
Rules in Mail and
When message arrives from ??
Forward to: someones.email.com
with predefined and automated message text that you write only once.

You can use Mozilla Thunderbird, with ImportExportTools plugin.
