Haven't checked lately but in the googleverse (IIRC) its called 'takeout'
where you can download all the stored (or which ones you wish) from their
server.
My registrar (I think that is the correct term) not only offers to takes my
money to keep my domain name(s) alive but also offers email hosting
 namespro.ca . Their pricing and service for domain registration is
excellent dunno their hosting though.

A mentor (gone some time now) recommended using claws email
I haven't run it yet.
