If you want to back up IMAP mailboxes to PST, the easiest way is through Outlook, just add your IMAP account to Outlook, let it sync all emails, then go to File > Open & Export > Import/Export > Export to a file > Outlook Data File (.pst) and select the folders you want to back up; I’ve used this method myself and it works fine for basic needs, but if you have a large mailbox or want more control (like selective backup), a dedicated IMAP to PST converter tool can save time and avoid sync issues.
