Is it possible to download Thunderbird onto an older windows 7 computer to collect my emails from a server where they still exist? (It is going to shut down soon.! ) I am currently using Outlook 2016 & POP and need to upgrade to a new PC and wish to take all my emails going back to 2018, when I go to it, In a form that I can read.! I understand taking emails to a new PC is fairly easy with Thunderbird which is why I want to come to you.

After I have downloaded all my old emails from old server using POP, Can I change Thunderbird to receive from the new server which is IMAP .? and can this change be made seamlessly within the Thunderbird programe so as to then continue receiving mails as normal? Please confirm this is all possible

Yes, you can setup thunderbird on old pc to download messages (POP, I presume). Since POP and IMAP are different, you would need to set up another email account for IMAP, and the two can coexist. However, if you then want to move the POP messages to the IMAP account, it is problematic; not impossible, but needs careful timing, since IMAP wasn't designed for high volume uploads. But people do it all the time. I mention it here only to alert you that it isn't just a matter of dragging messages from one account to another.
