My waitrose.com EMAP account with Plusnet is closing. I intend to replace it with gmail.com, which I previously established to support a mobile phone that I can no longer easily use for particular reasons and which I have now also installed into Windows 10 on my PC.

I envisage retiring my old account, whilst retain the complete 'Local Folders' Waitrose structure for reference and historical reasons, assuming that Gmail will establish separate storage to it's own rules, below (or above?) my history.

Is this a reasonable prospect and can you clarify if Gmail will take over my existing Inbox - Drafts - Sent - Junk and Deleted folders to it's use? Or will Gmail install a separate enviroment to it's own design and function?

And will Tbird continue to include my history folder-set along with the new, in the regular Profile Backups?

Here are my thoughts: - gmail will setup its own message folders, not yours - Any folders you have in 'Local Folders' that are not tied within Thunderbird to an account will remain. - If your account is POP, you can save them by moving to Local Folders. You can do that in several ways: 1: create a filter that does it; 2: highlight the messages, right-click and copy; exit TB and in File Explorer copy the Mail\Account\*.* folders to Mail\Local Folders - If account is IMAP, you should first click File>offline>download to ensure you have all messages on PC. Then follow same steps as for POP. - once that is done, you can close the old account.
