Why did Prolog lose steam?
Try Mercury -- I learnt about it while using a nice mutt-like email client called bower.

Prolog at Work
Has anyone used Mercury? The language seems quite interesting and has C and C++ FFI. I see bower (https://github.com/wangp/bower/) a notmuch client is written in it.

Mercury Programming Language
A relatively old language (having started in mid 90s) that is a mix of Prolog and Haskell. As code example someone can check the source code of bower (https://github.com/wangp/bower/tree/master/src), a curses client for notmuch mail system.
Checking the homepage a new version was recently released which finalized the Linux ARM64 port (as well as other additions/fixes).

Seeking Advice on Backing Up Emails from External Email Providers - Not Hosting
There are also isync and OfflineIMAP which sync email locally.

Mail migration from Protonmail
I'd consider using the Bridge + offlineimap (or a similar tool). That can connect via IMAP to both the Bridge IMAP and your destination IMAP service and copy all mails automatically that way.

Store proton mail locally
As u/alex_herrero says, Proton Mail Bridge is very much useful. I'm using this myself together with offlineimap to have a local backup. I also use the Bridge with Thunderbird too, which also works quite well (especially the v3 beta).

Backing up mails with MailPlus Server (MPS)
For the sync / import functionality the MSP uses offlineimap, which is another counterpart to IMAPSYNC. Changing the import tool will not bring up the solution to the main problem, that I am not able to reset the imported stuff back to zero in order to test the different scenarios of the main use case.

What an excellent idea!
Don't risk relying on someone else's hardware or service, use something like Offlineimap or Mbsync to sync your emails to your computer then automate multiple backups.

How are you getting your IMAP email for use with mu4e or the like these days?
I'm looking into replacing Thunderbird with mu4e (for the first time, despite being an Emacs guy for 15 years) and I got unexpectedly stuck at step 1, dowloading my email. offlineimap is broken on newer Pythons, getmail doesn't support Python 3 at all, and fetchmail is infamously inscrutable. It all seems a bit ridiculous, but I guess it speaks to how webmail has come to dominate proper email clients. Any recommendations?

Mutt 2.2.0
Neither a mutt, nor an offlineimap user, but I believe those two are often used in combination: http://www.offlineimap.org/
