doubling account and switching both from pop to imap

Hej :) So I hope I can write my message understandably... :D

We use thunderbird on linux and so far I have my kids account integrated in my thunderbird with a pop-server. I would like to copy the existing account onto their own computer and then switch the server for both to imap. So in the end they and I have access to old emails (received until now with a pop server) and also newly incoming ones with the imap server.

Is this possible or would I lose the emails/screw up the server or the account or sth? And could you outline what I would need to do to get the setup I want?

Thank you so much for your help! Irina
