Hi all, my question has to do with saving all my e-mails from my Cox communications account, which I have to close because Cox doesn't service my new physical address. I have saved all my Cox Inbox mail to Thunderbird via POP3, and all my Cox Sent mail has been saved to Thunderbird via IMAP. -Will I still be able to access all said e-mail(s) in Thunderbird after my Cox account is permanently closed? Kindly advise,

Thanks/Thunderbird newbie

Hello

your emails downloaded via POP3 are on your computer and they are not going away (unless you don't backup your system and your disk dies of course). About your 'save via Imap', be wary of this, with Imap the folder that appears in Thunderbird is a cache and may not include the full email for all messages. In your place I'd check that the account sync parameter are on 'sync all messages', repair the Thunderbird folder, install the exportexporttoolng add-on and do an export of the folder. If you want to be really paranoid, import the result in Local Folders, check the folder size and read a few old mails with attachments.
