Can I store downloaded emails in perpetuity, even if my email account has been discontinued?

My ISP are discontinuing my current email address regardless of what money or favours I offer them. All of my inbox downloaded to Thunderbird and have given offline access. Simply wanted to check that will be able to do this even after the ISP address has ceased. It's an imap connection.

Copy all the messages you want to keep (from Inbox, Sent etc.) to Local Folders for safe keeping and access after your account is discontinued.
