Hi, the more I think of it the more I agree with Pete. To achieve what you want you'll be the safest with the Offline IMAP (or the imapfw, which seems to be a future replacement of it). Then you can configure your account as before, just instead of having IMAP as the Receiving Email server type you'll pick "Maildir-format mail directories" and point it to the Offline IMAP directory. You setup the SMTP as before, to your mail provider. If you had looked up the details then just press "Back" in the New Mail Account Wizard and change only the values, which need changes. You can also configure send-only accounts, with "None" type for the Receiving Email part. You should be able to configure Offline IMAP for multiple accounts, storing data into multiple directories, separately. And when you've it all under ~/Maildir, you can backup (rsync) all of them by one command.
