How do you guys backup your imap servers?
If you have access to the server you could make backups on that end (that is what we where doing) if you dont have access to the server you would need to login to each mailbox to create the backup i suppose. Dont know which tools are good for that but i found this one it might help: https://github.com/rcarmo/imapbackup

IMAP-backup: Backup Gmail (or other IMAP) accounts to disk
Backing up my gmail has been on my list for a while (as step 1 of a migration away from gmail). Does anyone haver any experience with this tool, and could compare it to offline-imap (https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/imapfw) or mbsync? For something important like email, I'd probably rather use something only with more battle testing. I guess beyond a backup I would hope to use the offline copy to migrate to a new provider.
