I have downloaded Thunderbird and synced a gmail account to it. The gmail account is for a company I am leaving, so that gmail address will soon be shut down.

Will all my emails still be available on my system after the gmail address is shut down?

Thanks!

In Thunderbird, move all the e-mails from the Gmail "account" to the Local Folders "account". That will save them all permanently to your computer. In the process, they will be deleted from the Gmail server.
