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)

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
