To reiterate what Pete and Andre have said: the best solution to all
this is to use IMAP. You say you're already leaving messages on the
server, so there's no reason not to do this. You will avoid all the
headaches of copying stuff back and forth, (mis)-using the Backup
function or futzing around with file internals.

If your mail service supports IMAP, that's what you should be using.
There is no reason to keep using POP if you have the option of
changing.
