[ale] keeping Evolution/Godaddy mailbox contents before they disappear?

So, we have had the company email with Godaddy for lo these many years.
Accessed through Evolution on Centos via IMAP, and on phones and tablets
via IMAP also. 

This week a chipper bright young lady from Godaddy called to inform us
cheerily that they will be moving all email to Office365, and by the
way, doubling our price.  Maybe by this weekend.    Have a nice day.
And no, their Office 365 server doesn't support IMAP, and Centos 6
Evolution doesn't seem to support Exchange, but...

So, maybe our email is going away this weekend, and maybe not.   They
may just leave me alone until April when my 5 years runs out and then
kick me to the curb. 

I'm thinking that so long as I have READ every message in Evolution, it
has downloaded my complete mailbox. 

Alternatively, does anyone know of a more brute-force Linux utility to
Fer Sure download the complete email account via IMAP into a linux
compatible mailbox format? 

And any suggestions on no BS plain email hosting?  Just need two
mailboxes and a bunch of forwarding definitions.   I REALLY do not want
to go back to running my own Postfix server.
