Post email service provider migration, will the address book be lost when I delete the old email account?

Are the contacts in Thunderbird independent of the email account source? I recently migrated a set of email accounts to a new provider. There are now two the email accounts for each address; the new one, named like [email protected] and the old one named like [email protected] (old). When I eventually remove the "old" email account for each person from Thunderbird, is the address book with that name also going to vanish? The address book is named just like the email account; and the addresses were accumulated during the "old" address period. But I don't see anything in properties of either the address book or the email account in Thunderbird that directly links the two.

That message about corruption should not be taken lightly. Things were already weird with this account to begin with, so that message should be noted and the matter picked up with your email provider/host because things may break beyond repair and you don't want that to happen while you're unprepared. The account will probably need to be rebuilt on the server and that's not a big deal as long as you have a backup of its contents somewhere. When that time comes, you would delete the account and add it afresh

The hosting company checked it out and it seems to be ok. Thanks again.
