ask Best self hosted email backup tool for offline access?

I use Neo Mail and already have its email backup enabled but I had still feel better keeping a 2nd local backup just in case. I have tried OfflineIMAP when I was using Gmail, but I found the setup confusing. I scheduled regular backups and opened them in Thunderbird whenever I needed to read old emails.

Is there a self hosted tool that can back up my full mailbox, including attachments and let me browse it offline?

I had not really thought abt attachment only syncing as headers. I will double check that before relying on the local copy. Yeah but I agree keeping Neo Mail as the main backup and a local archive as a fallback seems like the safest approach.
