Removing Email account whilst keeping email messages

Hi,
I would like to remove an email account whilst keeping my old email addresses that arrived through that email account.
How do I ensure I keep all the old email messages?
Thanks

Ok I already have a mac account setup. I have all the messages from the original email account go into folders "on the mac". Does that mean the messages are safely stored on the MAC and when I delete the account the emails will stay in the folders?

HT1668 How do I stop the exchange and or yahoo email accounts from keeping email address for future use.

How do I clear out the email address' that are automatically saved and re appear when addressing a new email?
This is unique to my phone and does not happen on either of the email accounts when using a computer.

Yes, it will be just as it was new out of the box. You would need to import your photos (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts (by syncing them with iCloud or Google, or using an app like My Contacts Backup) if you want to save them. Your music should be in your iTunes library, along with other iTunes content (apps, movies, podcasts, etc.) and can be synced back to your phone. You would lose your text messages, and would have to set up your email accounts again.

I have removed one of my email accounts but the email keeps on appearing in my main account?

Hi
I have removed one of my email accounts but the email keeps appearing in my main account? - How can I get rid of this?

Do you have the removed account forwarded to your other account at the server?
If the account is not still in Thunderbird there is no way for it to check mail on that account. Even if it did it would not place the messages in a different Inbox.
Just to be sure when you go to Tools-Account Settings is the old account still in the list?
Use Tools on the menu bar and not the AppMenu button.
No menu bar? Press the alt key.

When trying to set up an email account I keep receiving ssl errror message. Any advice please.

Error is: Cannot connect using SSL. Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL?
Answer: Yes
Then "Verifying" appears at top of screen but nothing happens.
Tiscali/Talk Talk is the provider.

Mail -- How can I change the default email account from which my messages go, without having to change it each time I draft a message? It currently assumes an email account that I rarely use. Thanks.

How can I set up a password to open each email account to keep privacy?

Hello,
Different members of the family are using the same ipad. How can I set up a password for each email account to keep privacy ?
Thanks

You can not - it's a single-account device, including email, so you can't set up seperate passwords for seperate emails. All or nothing, I'm afraid.

hello, this is a scam tactic that is trying to trick you into installing malware, so don't download or execute this kind of stuff! as you've rightly mentioned, you're already using the latest version of firefox installed and you can always initiate a check for ''updates in firefox > help > about firefox''.
you might also want to run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan] in order to make sure that there isn't already some sort of malware active on your system that triggers these false alerts.

Is it possible that someone could redirect someones email account, and screen the messages over the internet without their knowledge.

Call it phishing or not, any website designed to emulate another with the primary goal of obtaining one's personal information through deception is easily accomplished. You called it a façade, which is as good an description as any. It can be performed with most an hour of work, and uploaded to any server willing to host it. They have been known to be attached to legitimate websites, often educational institutions for which security is lax, and in which many people with too much time on their hands have sufficient privileges to modify the site at will.
Constructing a more elaborate website that faithfully reproduces a secure webmail page populated with functional links would simply take more effort with probably more individuals working on it, but it is by no means beyond the realm of possibility.
Perhaps the Apple Genius was describing something different, or not, but the point is that it is certainly possible for someone to screen or otherwise view your email messages. It's simple, given just a couple of pieces of your account information. The most common means of obtaining that information is through deception, a low-tech social exploit that has been with us for thousands of years.

When i try to set up an email account it keeps saying invalid address

When i try to set up an email account it keeps saying invalid address, why is this?

Probably becaue you made an error in one of the required entries for the mail account. It is very easy to make an error. Rather than trying to find the error, many times it is easier to delet ethe account on the iPod and then recreate it.

I switched to a Cisco Router model EA6500, in now periodically receive a message on both of my email accounts "cannot get email" the connection to the server failed" it's happening on both by iPad and iPhone. I've talked to Cisco and they couldn't help

Start by working throudh the Troubleshooting iOS and WiFi knowledge base article and see if that helps the situation. When you get to shutting down the router, be sure to disconnect power as shutdown on some is really just standby mode.

How do I backup or copy an email account or individual emails from a closed email account

How do I backup or copy an email account or individual emails from a former employer on my iPhone 5s. I can open the emails, but don't have access to the server - just messages on iPhone. Thanks!

Hello stoutstout,
I imagine that forwarding the email does not function (since your account is closed), so I do not know what other options there would be.
I know this is inconvenient (and unprofessional if you need those emails forwarded) but I would probably just screen shot all the important information I need from these emails.

I have checked this on my device. I see a Default account under Messages created outside of Mail will be sent from the default account. There is an account selected, though it does not show my exchnage account. If it is only an exchange accout, can that not be used for this?
