I realise the solution exists out there but I'm confused by all the vocabulary.
Situation: I have two email accounts that are about to be closed (professional email accounts, end of contract). I would like to keep a local copy of all the emails and the attachments, in a way that I can still navigate the mailbox history if need be.
How do I do that?
Mail 1) is under a very old version of Outlook-Web-App. Mail 2) is under outlook.office.com . I have Thunderbird on my computer, accessing both Mails, under the IMAP protocol. To my understanding, since IMAP synchronises with server, once my account is closed I lose everything. Correct?
The only solution I found (I think) is to create two directories under "Local Folders" and then select all emails, right click, copy to the directory I just created. Does that work? Is there a better way?
