Hello. I have this address@domain.com configured on imap4.serverA.com. Now I've terminated contract with the provider that owns imap4.serverA.com and created the same email account on a new provider with an imap4.serverB.com. I've added the new account on Thunderbird and tried to move/copy the messages (drag and drop) from the old account to the new one. The problem is that when I try to do this Thunderbird keeps asking for the imap4.serverA.com login data. I can't login on that server because I've terminated contract with the provider, but the messages are still saved on thunderbird. Is it possible to copy those messages to that new account?

Thank you in advance.

Try this. Go into 'Offline' mode, (click on 2blue screen icon - bottom left in Status Bar' to change to 2 black screen 'offline' mode), but do not synchronise because you already have the emials. Move emails from old imap mail account into Local Folders. Then the emails are not stored in an imap account.

then go back into Online mode and try moving one email from Local Folders back onto new imap account. check it moved ok by checking the webmail account via a browser. You may discover it changed the dates as you are putting it onto the new server for the first time. If this occurs and is not desirable, then at least you can still view emails in Local Folders.
