    I pull all my email locally and only leave the last few weeks on the servers. I have all my email (going back 20 years) available locally and also backed up safe. If an email provider goes tits up, or is acquired, or starts misbehaving, I can have my mailboxes somewhere else within the hour and not lose anything.

        I should do that too at some point. I’m using Claws Mail not Thunderbird, which stores each message in its own file.

        First step is to find an IMAP server that won’t complain that the format is not-quite-maildir, and also not balk that they’re read-only.
