Need a cross platform email archiver.

Any recommendations for an app that can store and browse/search emails?
Needs to flexible enough that if I ever decide to switch to Windows the transition will be easy...

Any email client plus an IMAP mail server should do nicely. Just about any provider today offers IMAP.

IMAP stores mail on the server, your client stores another copy locally.
