I have to use Exchange OWA and not IMAP (this is disabled).

I understand. But using the exchange plugin, the mail is not really
downloaded, but only presented. Ofc, I could download the mail moving it
from the Inbox Exchange to some local folder with drag&drop.

I'm using:

$ pkg_info | fgrep evolution
evolution-2.24.5_1  An integrated mail, calendar and address book distributed s
evolution-data-server-2.24.5 The data backends for the Evolution integrated mail/PIM sui
evolution-exchange-2.24.5 Evolution plugin to connect to Microsoft Exchange servers

I want to copy every mail from my Inbox Exchange to a local folder, just
for backup purpose. How can I do this?
