I've got an old (redundant) email address and would like to keep all the emails associated with it (for now at any rate.) They are all stored on my computer but I wondered if there was another way of saving them to view on Thunderbird without the email client trying to log in to the server every time I want to read them? Googling does not bring any useful info thus far.
Just move them to local folders (I'd suggest creating a hierarchy to suit!) and remove the old account from T'bird.
If you don't want to remove the old account, stop it paging the server in Account Settings|Server settings.
If you have another IMAP account you can also copy the mail / folders from your old account into that one in T'bird.
