Does anyone have a workable offline searchable email backup solution

Right, sorry. In this whole DT4-debate in the forums I mixed it up: Feature request: Native IMAP support - #9 by cgrunenberg - Feedback - DEVONtechnologies Community

It is planned but not explicitly for v4

After fussing with more complex solutions I landed on saving designated “to-be archived” folders as .MBOX files and then using Thunderbird purely as a search and retrieval tool when needed.

I don’t use Thunderbird as my regular email client so it basically functions as my “email archive” app. Free, effective and straightforward (for me anyway).

If you don’t mind working with command line & terminal based tools, notmuch may work.
