I have to switch to another email provider. But the old provider does not allow me to back up my emails and later re-import them at the new provider. I have been using IMAP for all my emails. So when I change the settings in Thunderbird to the new email provider's settings, I assume that in Thunderbird, all my older emails will be deleted (when Thunderbird synchs my account with the new email provider, and the old emails are not there, I assume all older emails will be deleted from Thunderbird?). How can I avoid losing my old emails during the migration? I have already created subfolders to my Local Folders (Backup/email1, etc), and copied all my emails there. Is that enough? Those would not disappear during a switch of email providers, right? Also, I work with a laptop on the road, and a desktop from at home, and I have no access to the desktop machine at his time. How can I transfer the backed-up emails from my Local Folder to the desktop computer later?

If you have copied all messages from IMAP folders to Local Folders, you have prevented loss of the messages. To put the folders on the desktop computer, just - exit thunderbird on laptop - copy the Mail\Local Folders folders of interest to a USB stick - on desktop, create the same dummy folders in thunderbird - exit TB and copy the folders from USB to overwrite the dummy folders.
