Changing Email Server Host Location

Our email accounts are attached to our host domain name. We are going to be changing the host domain location from a smaller local provider to Spectrum Internet to service. The email addresses XXX@xxx.com 'will not change, only the server host location. As a backup, we are moving all existing emails located in subfolders under the email accounts to the LOCAL folder (creating new "trees" there) so they are in a permanent location to be unaffected by the server change. From my knowledge... we will not create new email accounts in Thunderbird .... only change the server location, ports, etc for that specific email. I want to confirm with others that this should be the plan?

You didn't give all the details. Is this POP or IMAP? How are the messages on old server being moved?

So the affected emails are all pop emails. We download them into Thunderbird and as pop, they are not affected if they are deleted from the host server. the emails on the original- old server will not migrate to the new one. Just to be safe- we are moving the sub”file” folders, under client and other names to the local folder.

Ok, being POP, they are already downloaded so a server change wouldn't affect them.

I was hoping that would be the answer!
