Tell HN: Lost access to my Google account even with the correct credentials
I have been looking into this. There is mbsync (isync)[1] which will let you download a imap account. There is also a premade docker image[2] which you could trigger via cron and sync your mails. For gmail it is recommended to get a login token but I have not looked into how to do that.

Helping my parents use my NAS to store their old emails and share across all of their devices?
Do your parents have a domain, or are they just using the provider's domain? I've set up my 1522+ to backup our mail accounts using MailPlus on the Synology, and IMAPSYC running on my lab server. But it's backup only, not archiving. That technology could be used to get to your desired state, but there's some work involved to make a secure connection from the internet to your Synology possible, sync/archive the mail, configure you parent's devices to find your device, etc.

There are two solutions for this 1. Using a tool called imap-sync to sync all your emails (it has a great incremental sync). You can run it periodically via cron 2. Using the same or similar tool and export to a database.
