Hi, one of my email accounts has discontinued, so I don't want TB to check for new mail, as I would get the message "cannot connect to server" ...but I do want to keep the historic messages for my files. I have unchecked the options to get mail at startup or periodically, but when I click on "receive messages" for all the other accounts, it still tries to check the mail for the discontinued one, and I get the annoying message. Can anyone help?

Create subfolders of Local Folders and copy the messages there from the account. Confirm the copies, then remove the account from Tools/Account Settings, Account Actions.
