How to backup emails from thundersbird
I am not very technical.
I currently have a mailbox with Fasthosts, and access it mainly via webmail.
I want to leave fasthosts as moving website to a new hosting provider. emails need to come to.
I need to be able to backup my old emails in case I need them for my business.
I do not have outlook.
I have downloaded Thunderbird and setup the account so I can now access my emails via thunderbird.
But my fasthosts email account is closing very soon, when it does will they disappear from Thunderbird? How can I save/backup/copy (not sure on correct terminology) so that I have access to historic emails?
Any help is massively appreciated.

I would suggest you install this addon. https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools-ng/?src=ss
Then use the menu to export your mail from the account into mbox or EML files for archival storage and future import into Thunderbird.
