Thanks for the reply! I understand what imapsync does, but I don't know how
to use it. Everyone has told me to use it, but no one has told me how. I

Look at preferences of your email client for "Keep messages for this
account on this computer" (or something similar).
In SeaMonkey it is under Mail Settings > your email acc. >

I'm not familiar with partimage. Are you saying that it refuses to allow
you to backup partitions with name
