Saving letters on a local disk not on a post server with IMAP

Wadym

My mail-host is going to restrict size for my mail. To save my letters I'm going to copy/remove the letters to local folders. But I want to go on dealing with IMAP folders. What if having synchronized all the letters before I only synchronize the last letters. Does it mean that erasing on server won't touch the non-synchronized old letters and I will be still able to see their local twins in IMAP folders?

If you want to keep message but outside an IMAP-connected account then you must move them to the Local Folders account.

The folders in an IMAP-connected account show you what is on the server. Delete messages there and you also delete the server copy. So you make a copy (or move the messages) to a folder outside the IMAP-connected account.

OK, I understand. Thank you! But... if I have all the messages synchronized and their copies saved on my computer and then I unsynchronize some of them is the same I delete the non-synchronized copies on my PC too, isn't it?
