Protonmail fowarding as a daemon?
I suspect your new mail server supports IMAP. So you can run offlineimap to "sync" mails from Proton Mail to your server, as long as you have Proton Mail Bridge available.

local gmail backup
I have also configured it that no deletes are synced, so I don't loose anything I delete by accident (sync_deletes). Also set the folderfilter to your liking. For all options check out https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap3/blob/master/offlineimap.conf

What you DONT self-host and why?
Offlineimap can backup Gmail without problems, including the labels (they are added as X-Keywords header to the mail).

Reasons for why data hoarding is important and why you should start
You can synchronize your email off gmail using offlineimap or any other similar program (you can and also should make a full request of your data with Google right now, because even an unmanaged dump can serve as a backup copy). You could then ensure you lose nothing by version-controlling the resulting maildir using git.

TIFU by accidentally buying two Google Pixels and ended up getting my 15 year old Google Account permanently banned.
Part of this is due to bad software design. The email server provides a service, but nothing prevents you from backing up the emails you synchronize... except for software that doesn't allow it because the devs didn't give a shit.

Announcement: Open source JMAP / IMAP server written in Rust
So I have to ask, why JMAP? And does anything like offlineJMAP exist?

Success stories setting up mu4e for Outlook with 2FA?
i can not longer use mu4e with my outlook account because of 2FA. I used to set it up through a combo of DavMail and offlineimap3, but now that doesn't work because DavMail can no longer create a bridge between outlook and imap, since I don' know how to get it working with 2FA.

Where did package version come from?
On https://www.offlineimap.org there is still a link to the repository that uses Python 2 which is no longer supported. At https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap3, development apparently continues with Python 3. There is version 8.0.0 available (https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap3/releases/tag/v8.0.0)

IMSErious: Execute commands in response to Dovecot email push notifications
I wrote this to execute fdm on new messages, so my VPS can deliver email to its own local Dovecot instance and my home machine can fetch them with minimal delay - without otherwise being tightly coupled to my external email setup.

Email archiving and searching options
When I switched from GMail’s web client to a local client, I used fdm over POP to send everything to a local maildir. Then I set up a cronjob that calls fdm every five minutes (again, over POP) to check for new mail. Bear in mind that depending on your GMail settings, GMail’s copies of emails can be auto‐deleted upon POP download. If you still want to access email through the web or IMAP, make sure that’s set properly.

Setting up fdm
This actually seems to have maybe changed quite recently, however this mechanism seems inconvenient for users to use, requiring additional scripting (meaning, shelling out to a command), continually generate a new access token to use with fdm, on a per-account basis, hourly. Yuck.

Python3 equivalents of OfflineIMAP?
I came across fdm, which is fast, lightweight, and simple to configure. It fetches mail. That's it. The config is literally a couple of lines for a single mailbox.
