I'm closing some VERY old Earthlink email accounts as I no longer use them and don't want to continue paying for the service. But, I want to save all the old emails on my laptop.
I've got the accounts set up (IMAP) on my laptop's Outlook 2013 and it has downloaded and synced all emails and folders to the laptop. I want to know how I can close down the IMAP connection between my laptop's Outlook and the external Earthlink email so that when I delete the Earthlink email account my Outlook 2013 will not continue to try and find it. Also, I'm also worried that if I delete the earthhlink account it will also "update" my Outlook email and delete it from my Outlook.
Basically I'm asking, how do I delete (close down) my earthlink account with out also deleting the emails on my laptop's Outlook 2013 AND so my OUtlook 203 son't continue to llok for these accounts everytime it does a Send/Recieve.
I tried to 'unsubscribe' all the folders, but it won't let me unsubscribe the 'Sent' folders, saying "Cannot unsubscribe from folder. 'Sent is a special folder and cannot be unsubscribed from in Outlook.". I suppose I could just move the content of my sent folder to another new folder... ? But that would still leaves my Outlook 2013 still trying to find and sync with an account that is no longer out there.
Seems it should be simple but I'm not finding how get this done!
