Need to unlink email from a website.

We have a Thunderbird email for our woodcraft organisation. It is linked to our website. The website is hosted on the server of a member of the club, but we need to remove the website from his server. We have decided to close the website down. Will this impact on our email? If necessary, we can create a new Thunderbird email address, which is an inconvenience, but is there any way Thunderbird can move all the existing emails across to a new address? If not, I will have to save them all some other way, which is a big job. Many thanks in anticipation.

I presume this is a self-hosted website and the new one will be also. If true, (and if you set up a domain for the club) the domain name for the account can be switched to the new one and keep the same email address. The messages (assuming IMAP) will need to be downloaded and copied to new server. To do that, click File>offline>download to ensure you get all the message content, not just the headers. If you need more detail, let me know.
