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.
Kind Regards
I've got things set up so that server isn't checked every time I check Thunderbird so we're ok there. However, trying to copy them into the new Local Folder folder is not working. In Offline mode it will not move them, but tries to download them from the server. The advice on the Mozilla site is not helping either. Clearly it should be really straightforward...
