Looks like the only options for backing up a mailbox are offlineimap (a Python 2 tool that claims it's not under development anymore), imapfw (its replacement with last commit in 2017), and mbsync (a C tool). Is there really nothing better? I guess Python 2 > C, but =(

You could just use fetchmail? It's been around and maintained forever, it's practically a standard UNIX tool. You could use it to make you an mbox, and backup that.

No way - fetchmail is a fountain of memory safety vulnerabilities, and has wonderful defaults like supporting SSLv2 and not validating certificates.
