So, I just followed a very helpful YouTube video by Tasia Custode on downloading all emails in Gmail. My purpose is to create an historic archive of essential emails from my recently deceased father's gmail account that I will be able to access after I delete his account. So I went from Google Takeout to a download of his emails in mbox format to creating a Thunderbird account in which all his gmail messages that we want to retain are now legible and accessible.

But ...... will I still be able to access these messages in Thunderbird if I proceed with the final step of deleting the original gmail account? I don't dare proceed with deletion until you can confirm that the messages will remain accessible after deletion of the core account, which is no longer needed.

I appreciate your assistance with this. I was unable to find an article or FAQ that addressed this question, so thanks in advance for your help.

Sincerely yours,

Joel Charny jrcharny@gmail.com

if you add the addon, importexport, you can - highlight Local Folders, - click tools>importexporttools>import mbox and bring the messages into local folders. that isolates it from any account. Once you are comfortable with the messages, you can delete the account. The importexport addon also lets you then do a backup.
