Dear all, One of my email accounts no longer exists, but I would like to keep the emails that are saved in Thunderbird for future reference. How can I delete the account in Thunderbird, or at least stop Thunderbird from attempting to authenticate and load new emails, while saving old emails? Apologies if this question has already been asked, but I was unable to find any help on the subject.

Thank you!

Highlight and copy the mail folders to Local Folders. Rename as desired. Verify that you can access them. You may now delete the old account.
