[Users] Archiving a remote IMAP server locally

[Richard Bown]

Hi,
I'm moving packages on the same mail provider , but they flush the old
account files, and dont transfer.

I've about 300MB of mail on the server, I need to back that up, I'd
prefer to do that locally,

If I use the archiver facility in CM , as I use IMAP, does that just
archive the message headers, or does it download the body as well ?

Or should I add a local mailbox and use POP3 to download, thats if POP3
can be forced to download the entire mailbox.

or any other ideas on how to do this please,
Even though I've got an alledged 30Mb download speed, its going to take
ages, there are about 6000 messages to copy.
