[second try] IMAP - how to permanently store eMail local

Cheer :)
I must be honest that I thought to get a hand from somebody who is
much better than I am in DOS. ;)

Good! We will preserve the structure.

That is what we are doing at the end.

I have taken care of that. I told him not to place any new eMail into
the folders.

Not exactly. I have and had to learn in live that there are always at
least 2 possibilities to a problem. One of them is the most suitable.
But very often we can't choose the best and need an alternative.
Learning to search for alternatives also means, it's not the best but
it is a middle way where I am satisfying the "wish" and the "needs" of
the client.
Would you support that?
