There's a possibility to run it automatically via a scheduled task in Windows. Try this guide itanalyses.blogspot.com/2013/08/…– Yisroel TechCommented Jan 30, 2017 at 12:39

I use Mail Backup X. I had tested a few more mail backup tools like Horcrux, however only Mail Backup X met my needs.
It backs up my gmail and Yahoo accounts. Furthermore, I am saving them offline to an external drive. It works on both IMAP as well as POP.
the one tool i can clearly recommend for this task is combined with the client Thunderbird, its his Addon ImportExportTools:
- it can export mails as eml-, html-, text- and pdf-files with a html- or csv-index or also export as a single mbox-file.
- the export can be applied for a single mail, selected mails in bulk, all mails or even automatically as backup (full or incremental).
- for the export the folder hierarchy and subfolders can be respected/included.
- for the name of the files you can select date (with or without time), subject, sender/recipient, receipt-order,...
- it can also import mbox-, eml- and emlx-files.
- it is FOSS (GPL3) and therefor adding lacking features is more or less easily possible.
- Thunderbird and ImportExportTools are cross-platform available for Windows, macOS and Linux.
- it has a GUI and should also be usable by tech-unsavvy users.
