How to access local mails of cancelled IMAP account
Some time ago I switched from provider A to provider B, in both cases with IMAP accounts. I did not copy mails from A to B. After cancelling the contract with A, Thunderbird cannot connect there anymore and asks for the password instead. I assumed I could just deactivate the syncing in the server settings but did not find a way to do that. I also thought that I could still access the mails that were synced before the cancellation but the mail list stays empty.
- How can I make Thunderbird stop from trying to connect to provider A? As far as I saw, I cannot leave the server settings empty. - How can I access my old mails? Can I somehow move or import them to account B?
Thanks!

If you have cancelled the contract with A, surely company A will have deleted your email account with them? So how would you be able to access these emails?
If your contract doesn't exist (as above my first point) what would you lose by deleting that account from Thunderbird and, therefore, it's ability to attempt to retrieve email? You could, alternatively, switch off automatic email retrieval under the server settings.
