I know this has been treated repeatedly, but I can’t seem to find

attachments?
I seem to remember there were commercial apps that can do that, but I
don’t find the right info.
It depends on your interest and ability. Once approach would be to run
your own IMAP server, using a free or reasonably-priced server. Another
approach would be to find a new email provider that provides access via
IMAP. Once you've identified an IMAP server, you would use an IMAP
import tool to move your email from your current IMAP server to your new
one.
I'm in the process of setting up a new Dovecot IMAP server on a Mac
Mini. Dovecot is a free, open-source IMAP server. It provides a robust
IMAP transfer tool.
Dovecot:

The tool to sync (or import) email:

However, these tools require familiarity with command lines.
