Hello,

I am currently downloading all of the emails from my Google Apps email account into Thunderbird on my desktop

The email account I'm downloading from will be closed next year

So my question is whether all of the emails I've downloaded by that point will be still be accessible via Thunderbird once that Google Apps account has closed and is no longer linked via POP. My aim is to retain a backup for future reference

Thanks!

If it is truly POP then what you download is on your your computer and yours to keep.

If in fact it's IMAP then you need to move it all to the Local Folders account in Thunderbird.

Thank you Zenos

POP and IMAP are both enabled within Google Apps email

But within Thunderbird itself, when I right click on the email address and go to Settings and then Server Settings, the server type is 'POP Mail Server'

So based on what you've said, it looks like I will be okay?

I think so. But my remaining doubt is that with POP you are shown just the Inbox and messages in other folders (on the server) won't be accessible to you.

If you have moved messages into other folders (on the server) then it may be worth your while to set up a second instance of this account in Thunderbird using IMAP, allowing you to see those folders and move their contents into Local Folders in Thunderbird.

I wouldn't want to keep a dead POP account in place in Thunderbird, as every time you run Thunderbird it is likely to try (and fail) to connect to the POP account's server. So I'd move all the content from the POP account folders into Local Folders too.
