But I am not going to be running an email client in Windows. I just want
access  to the email to archive it on a real disk drive.

Is there some reason why you do not archive it using the many different
archiving tools that exist on Linux (from rsync, tar, cp -a commands, to more
complicated backup applications and scripts)?

Yes, there is a reason. I use the synchronization utility that's built into an extremely powerful file browser that also has built-in FTP (and SFTP when needed). It's named "Total Commander" (http://www.ghisler.com/). It doesn't just copy, it synchronizes and it verifies file contents. There's a Linux work-alike for Total Commander, called "Krusader", that's almost as good. Do you know Krusader?
