In KMail. My server has fetchmail -> postfix -> dovecot. Fetchmail collects POP3 emails from my ISP and forwards it to postfix, and dovecot serves IMAP4 to my workstation. My backup method is simple: I archive KMail's emails daily to a local disk, then shut the system down on a Sunday to back up the entire system to an external USB-3 disk. The server is taken down on a Saturday for complete system backup, to another USB-3 disk. -- Regards, Peter.
