You can always have a local IMAP server running on the PC/Laptop where
offlineimap is running, and use it to access the local Maildir files.
That's what I actually do at home. The server in my basement runs an
IMAP server, and offlineimap twice every day. TBird in my laptop is
configured to see

not seem to get mbox (used by Tbird). Actually maildir seems to be a bit nicer
in some
respects, so I can probably live with having the backup in a different format

You can try offlineimap at http://offlineimap.org. It has worked fine

And I have several folders to archive. However, it's definitely one contender.
I'm thinking that I'd prefer, if I ca
Have you tried setting up message synchronization under Synchronization and
Storage? That will copy down the files from the server to the local machine as
well as leave them available on the server.
While it does duplicate messages and increase storage requirements, it does

Twice this year I've lost some archived messages when moving files from an IMAP
account to
local files on Thunderbird. The problem appears to be that the IMAP server is

messages, and the "move" then deletes them before moving them.
Since I discovered the problem in Feb, I've been ca
