In MailSteward's Settings, I specify two email accounts (one gmail 
account; one exchange account) to be backed up, along with the backup 
frequency (nightly at 10 pm). Additionally, I could specify other 
mailboxes in
/Users/myusername/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Messages/IMAP.

Every night at 10 pm MailSteward opens, scans my email messages, and 
adds the ones not already in MailSteward. It works well. My only 
negative comment is that html messages sometime must be processed for 
easy viewing. The database is
/Users/myusername/Dropbox/Private/MailSteward Backup Files/mymaildb
This works for me.

I purchased MailSteward, which AUTOMATICALLY updates a (now 10 GB)
email database archive, called mymaildb, every evening.

MailSteward has a pretty good search engine of its own, and I am happy
with this solution. I needed an archive so I could trim my imap
accounts' messages to not exceed a data quota on the server.
