What is the best way to save a large number of emails when losing my Virgin email address?
Is someone able to advise me on the best way to save the emails that I have in my virgin email accounts please. I have seen that I can load them in Outlook or Thunderbird and export them. I tried downloading Outlook and it did not seem to have an export facility.
I used IMAP when I loaded my email address into Outlook. Would they stay available in Outlook when my email is closed? I notice that Thunderbird is saying IMAP to sync with the server and POP to store emails on my computer.
If I store them on my computer then would I be able to move them to a new computer if I bought one?
I believe that another possibility is to import them straight into a gmail account from my virgin address.
Thanks for any help.
Remember to download the emails into a file stored on your computer you may need to configure a POP3 connection.
The more modern IMAP is just a view of the emails on a mail server.
