My apologies for not making this more clear in my initial post. The reason that we don't simply hook up Outlook, though we could, is we were looking for a way to give the client a .pst file with the last three months of mail on it. The reasoning I was given is so that they can load it into outlook. It is not for a backup in case the mail server crashes or in case their Outlook .pst file crashes but instead so they can look at emails between a given period. The reason I said IMAP is in order to preserve the data on the mail server.

I hope this helps to clarify my question.

Regards,

Ryan Klein

I have a question that may not be for the Postfix mailing list but I
thought I would ask here first. Does anyone know of a utility (command
line preferably) that can take a mailbox from the server and connecting
via IMAP or POP export (download) the data as a .pst file? We are looking to download the .pst files for archiving purposes so in the future someone
could, in theory, just import it into Outlook and download it. The same
holds true for any such utility for Thunderbird. I know there are a few
companies such as Mailtrust that offer the service but I am looking for a
tool we can utilize in house. Thank you for any suggestions.
It's not command line, but - your utility called Outlook ;)

Why not just connect with outlook and then export/backup with it?
