The advantage of using a web app for my e-mail provider (Posteo), is

I would want something I can backup and restore, transfer to some other

It's called POP3, and the server supports that. In fact, the entirety of
Posteo is open-source and the service was recommended by the Free Software
Foundation when I signed up for it.

And if an update goes wrong and locks you out of your system, it also
locks you out of those preferences. If you can fix the system and restore
everything, that's fine. A lot of us prefer to keep it on the cloud in
case of a disaster, or simply because we want to have access to the same
data through a variety of computers.
