IMAP - how to permanently store eMail local

If I know the end result is fine I have no problem to invest 24 hr for
the whole process.

I made a test backup and it created more folders than the original.
Example:
ORIGINAL FOLDER:
Inbox
+- Client 1
| +- Name 1
| +- Name 2
| | +- Task 1
| | +- Task 2
| +- Name 3
+- Client 2
| +- Job 1
| +- Job 2
+- ect ect ect
IMAPsize is creating the following structure
IMAPsize FOLDER:
Inbox
+- Client 1
| +- Name 1
| | +- Year number
| +- Name 2
| | +- Year number
| | +- Task 1
| | | +- Year number
| | +- Task 2
| | | +- Year number
| +- Name 3
+- Client 2
| +- Year number
| +- Job 1
| | +- Year number
| +- Job 2
| | +- Year number
+- ect ect ect
That will require a lot of hand work at the end unless I missed
something.

Who do you mean this?
Maybe I am doing something wrong and you could tell me how to make it
better?
