Our Thunderbird is set up with 2 email accounts - Gmail & Cox cable. Actually 3 as my wife also uses TB for her Cox emails. Cox is moving over to Yahoo. Not a fan of Yahoo. Eventually I will either set up another Gmail account (cox was for subscriptions or when a business needs an email address) and my has a Gmail already, but she does not use TB for that as for her Cox is her main email.

So can I delete our Cox emails thru Cox web email site without losing our emails currently in TB? And will that mess things up as TB sends and receives email from cox cable?

Any tips and suggestions much appreciated.

My suggestion is to copy the entire profile. Just.. - exit thunderbird - copy the thunderbird folder at c:\users\<yourid>\appdata\roaming

You wife's account is separate from your, so would not be affected. For your Cox account, I suggest copying the message folders to local storage folder prior to cancelling the account. That ensures your messages are saved. If this is an IMAP account, I suggest first clicking file>work offline>download to be sure that all messages are local. Then, after verifying that the messages are there locally, you can remove your Cox account from TB.

Thanks for quick response. I want to try and at least save the emails in TB for if needed in the future.

And how do I copy the message folders to my back up hard drive?
